The CDMA Wireless Data system I worked on for the past 2 years is finally into testing phase. To test the system with real traffic, we deployed 100+ PDA phones to help generate the traffic needed. I'm lucky to receive a Kyocera 7135. It's basically a Palm PDA combined with CDMA 1xRTT phone. It loaded with email and web browser function. I installed many useful toys and programs like SSH/telnet/FTP/NNTP clients and VNC.

It's a novel expereince to be able to read email from work while shoppng gocery, or wake up in the morning by email notification regarding a cancelled meeting. I can't wait to try using VNC to check on the progress of my loadbuild while walking to Tim H. for a donut.

I shall be a slave of this device.
