WIRELESS INTERNET BROWSING
ProGear connects to the Internet through a device that supports
802.11b, the IEEE standard for wireless networks. This device,
often called a network access point, transfers data between
ProGear and a local area network at up to 11 Mbps using radio
frequency (RF) waves. Access to the Internet is anywhere up to
about 150 feet of a network access point. This wireless technology
gives you the freedom to surf the Internet while you are away
from your networked PC.
HANDWRITING RECOGNITION
In addition to an onscreen keyboard, ProGear features
sophisticated handwriting recognition software from Motorola.
To compose an e-mail or enter a URL, simply write with the pen-
shaped stylus directly on the touch-sensitive screen in the
Handwriting Recognition window. The recognition software
translates your natural handwritingprinting or cursiveinto
language ProGear can understand.
