No wireless connection is necessary. Just sync 'n go from your desktop. If you do have a wireless or Wi-Fi hotspot service, use it around town for updates. Getting great websites couldn't be easier!

Will not work with Palm 5.0 on my Treo 650by MaxLaw - September 13, 2005
Pros: It used to work (and it was free) on my Palm i795
Cons: Will not work on my Treo 650 at all
Review:
I would give it a one, but for its prior utility and FREE info. Even before, it took some tweaking and searching, installing and uninstalling. Now....nothing. And their support section kinda forgot about me for a solid two months. Yccch!

excellent programby eve6grl02 - April 8, 2005
Pros: easy to use, lets me read internet content anywhere
Cons: advertisements (especially the ones that come up after a sync)
Review:
I can't get through the day without this program! I sync in the morning using my wireless network, check the weather forecast, read news from wired.com, update my livejournal (google 'pocketLJ' for more info), check local movie listings, search for wifi hotspots (to update my info!), get driving directions, ect, ect, ect. The possibilities are endless! And it's all FREE!! You just can't beat it!
