I have heard that the $200 Palm VIIx has wireless internet
access and can display weather charts.

Regular cell phones are not allowed to be used in the air
so if two or three cells see your transmissions  you
might get in trouble if you try.

I think this Palm works off another wireless system.

Anybody have any experience with this?
