Pharos Traveler GPS 525

PCWorld reviews the Pharos Traveler GPS 525 and has this to say about the PDA’s WiFi: “Pharos’s Wi-Fi receiver works fine, but again, the software needs work. I couldn’t easily tell what network I was connected to or get to the list of available Wi-Fi networks. At one point, when I mistakenly ended up on the screen for setting up a network I had already configured, I couldn’t see a way to cancel the process. Skype’s software, however, was a joy to use. I simply entered my user name and password, and was immediately presented with my personal contact list, showing who was online. It took only moments to complete a call to a colleague in Boston. True, the voice quality wasn’t up to the outstanding audio we enjoy on PC-to-PC calls, but it was perfectly usable.”
