5.0 out of 5 stars WooHoo! I'm connected to the net and free of my other PC, September 25, 2000
This review is from: Socket Communications CF Ruggedized LP-E for harsh environments (10BaseT) (Electronics)
Want to take advantage of your high speed internet connection? Want to use your Pocket PC as a stand alone device? You'll need an ethernet card to do so. Socket is the leader in this area, especially for its rugged devices.

Don't even question the $... or so difference between the standard version and the ruggedized version -- you'll be thankful for the additional peace of mind in having a card that will stand up to being actually used in the real world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why be tethered?, November 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Socket Communications CF Ruggedized LP-E for harsh environments (10BaseT) (Electronics)
I don't see the value of taking a mobile device and then tethering it for internet/network access. I'd spend the bucks on a wireless option. I am waiting for a bluetooth module or homeRF module for low cost local wireless access to the internet via an already connected laptop or desktop. I think the 802.11 stuff is still way expensive but it seems like prices are falling. However, 802.11 consumes far more power than the above wireless options. Also, wireless will also serve to synch up painlessly.

2.0 out of 5 stars The novelty of this product wears off in 2 seconds., April 27, 2001
By Olaf the Bear (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Socket Communications CF Ruggedized LP-E for harsh environments (10BaseT) (Electronics)
Wow, you can hook up to the school networks! Wow, you can download stuff whereever you are!

Well, guess what... all of these great ideas that pop in your head of what you can do with this card... toss them out the window. The product is so inpractical, that I can honestly say that I've only used it ONCE. Not only do you need to carry around a cat 5 cable around whereever you go, but you also have to lug around that tether thing that's attached to the card. Ugh. It turned my sleek and sexy jornada into a clunker.

I can't actually think of a real-world situation where I would use my jornada instead of a real computer that I had at my disposal (i'm assuming that where there is an ethernet port there are also computers available).

Just maybe, if this were priced around 20-30 bucks, i'd get it, but that probably isn't going to happen anytime in the near future.

As an ending note, I usually never write negative reviews, but this is one of those that I had to write because I didn't want people to get suckered in like I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart Add-on
I feel this is a smart add-on to any pocket pc since you can get into the net at full speed.

It is fast, easy to use and reliable.

Of course you need access to network :=)
