Hi Scott,
I read the press release about the pk at
http://www.pulsedata.com/about/news/news300604.asp
and what I am getting out of that is if you had a wireless phone with
internet browser that does not talk , which I do have, and you liked the pk
internet browser that does talk to your phone via bluetooth which my phone
has bluetooth and the pk has bluetooth the browser in the pk would be
accessible with speech and would be connecting to the internet through the
modem in the phone.
Sort of a long way around the horn but what ever works.
John
