This adaptor is great, especially for the price. Installation was as easy as it gets, right out of the box. I had it up and running through a WEP-enabled local network and surfing the web in 2 minutes. It locked on to the network in under a second and never dropped the connection. Both FrontPage and ClieMail ran fine. Speed is maybe 80% of what I get on my laptop running a 333 MHz. Celeron and a PC card 802.11b adaptor. Just be sure your PDA is on the (small) list of supported devices.
Negatives: it's not the sturdiest looking thing in the world. I wouldn't leave it in the Clie when not in use and I sure wouldn't want to drop it on the floor.
It does chew through the battery, but not any more than the backlight. I did a test with my UX40, with the backlight set at minimum (ie. not off entirely) and using CliePet's UnderClock app to slow it down to 96 MHz. This is a good combination of power saving and usability.
Then I got on the net and loaded pages non-stop. Starting from a fully charged battery, it ran 55 minutes before the first alarm. I was able to get another 20 minutes of intermittent use out of it after that. I consider that perfectly acceptable. With an EB40 extended battery you should easily be able to get 2 to 3 hours of use out of it.
Overall, a great add-on for a fraction of the price of a UX50. |
