Wifi for iPAQ hx2110

[stuball]

I have an iPAQ hx2110 with bluetooth, are there any adapters or anything else that would enable me to connect using a wifi connection?

Welcome to Pocket PC Thoughts.

The answer is, yes. Because your hx2110 has a CF and SD slot, you can use a Wi-Fi module that fits into either slot. Socket's "Go Wi-Fi!" range (http://www.socketcom.com/product/wlan.asp) is a good example of what's available in the market.

Thank you, I hope to learn a few things here, have had this iPAQ almost a year and just now deciding to actualy use it, pretty handy device for sure. I am assuming that if I purchase a wifi adapter I will be able to access the net from any wifi access point, be it my home network or a public hotspot, is this correct? Thanks again for the info and the welcome.

As long as you have sufficient security privileges. Most public hotspots are encrypted with an encryption key.

Here where I live, it seems there are public and private hotspots galore. I find them absolutely everywhere, and precious few are using any wep or wpa or anything at all.

Be careful, though. Some states/countries have tough laws when it comes to using one's Wi-Fi network without permission - even if it's just for sending a quick e-mail.
