I want to buy the NZ-90 plus the WL110 wifi card, but I see last week a review in wich there said that with this wifi card yo can’t recognized the posibles wireless network. That will limit me to conect in some places out of my house.

Is that true???
There exist an extra software for recognizing wireless networks??

Thanks.
Jaime.

Herer it is if you folks haven’t seen it. Same product, same site, different descriptions of use and specs:

Short review from PocketPC Mag:

I think that the WL-110’s range is at least as good as the Tungsten C’s – in my case it seemed even better. The biggest difference is that the C has WiFi built in, so there is no extra part to loose. Also, there is no software indicator for signal strength when you use the Sony WiFi card. Otherwise, service is comperable between the two, and just as easy to connect.

I went to ASU from 85-87 and 97-2001. What did you teach?

Today is nice (78 & sprinkling!), but it has been over 100 far too many days this summer. I’ve been wishing we were freezing our tushes off in Scotland again.

I am afraid that with the upcoming UX model, which includes built-in WiFi, Sony may not pursue any improvements for those that are using the CF WiFi cards. Hopefully developers will step up to the plate – as they so often have to.

1. PTL (Page Too Large) errors crop up far too often. Granted, this is really Acess’ problem but someone needs to work this out in the real world.

2. Management of popup and/or new windows is kinda hit-and-miss. For example, it renders my office’s internal portal kinda useless.

3. Sony needs to make the WiFi API public to allow third-party to fill in the missing pieces.

4. Sony needs to improve the driver and/or network setup. Given Sony’s track record though, I’m quite fearful that when WPA supersedes WEP that my card will be relegated to the dustbin for lack of a new driver.

I have the WL100 (the predecessor to the WL110 that was reviewed) on my NX70. I find that I can ~2h of surfing time on a full charge. I say ~ since I never run my battery all the way down. After 2h of surfing, the battery is low enough that I discontinue usage.

I would prefer the battery life to be better but based on what I know, it’s the best that the NX70 (or the NX60) can deliver. I do have a homebrew battery extender that work quite well…

The bigger criticism I have for Sony is the lack of any signal strength indicator (as on Palm-branded device or the newer UX-50) and/or sniffers (as on PPC). The absence of both makes me think that WiFi is kinda half-baked on the current CLIE.

I use the WiFi card sporadically. I will check e-mail then turn it off, check a web site then turn it off, or chat from my living room for a little bit and then turn it off, several times a day. With that type of use, battery loss is minimal. Plus I keep my backlight on the dimmest setting (which on the NZ is actually as bright as my Tungsten T was on the middle setting).

If you would like me to test a certain scenario – name it and I will give it a shot. Just be aware that I am using an NZ90, which may not have the same battery life as your NX60.
