Does the X50 series support WPA? (On the two models that have 802.11 obviously.)

Yes. The X50 supports both WEP and WPA.

I have an apple airport wireless system in my home and after putting in the access codes, everything works automatically and perfectly, and when I go to a hot spot (library) I am automatically online with no work on my part.
that was with the x30 and hopefully that will work with the x50v

My X50v recognizes and easily connects to any available hotspots I run across. :D

Although both WEP and WPA can be cracked, so it doesn't really matter which one you use... :wink:

But to make it harder to crack, choose a passphrase that is easy to remember, has non-dictionary words in it, and ideally includes unintelligible gibberish. For example, my network's passcode is ....

Just so the BSSID isn't the WEP key... 8O

Well, if you wanted to find out a password from a gullible friend... http://bash.org/?244321

Sorry, I couldn't let that one go unnoticed. :mrgreen:

Yep!

The Axim has no problems connecting. I however cannot connect to my school's network with it. But I've yet to find anyone with a ppc that can - mainly due to my school's insane ideas though and their cisco propritary systems.
