Web Query for Excel Mobile?

[Gekko]

-

Does anyone know if Excel Mobile on PPC can do a Web Query? I have a Treo 650 so I'm not sure. I think the answer is no, but I'd love to be able to have a spreadsheet on my phone and press a button in Excel Mobile and have Excel do a web query and go out to the internet and pull in dynamic information in real time over the air right into the spreadsheet - ex. stock quotes and yield information. Now I have to do the Query on my PC and sync it to my Phone which is a PIA. What do you think of an Excel Web Query directly on the Phone? Would you find it useful? Do you think it would be easy or difficult for MSFT to add someday?

Here is how Excel (for the PC) does it:

I'm pretty sure it has no such functionality out of the box. I think you'd have to develop or use a third-party solution for doing web queries. :( I haven't looked, but maybe someone else has released tools to facilitate this.
