Hello. Sorry if this is not the right newsgroup but I'm looking
for a mobile device that is capable of basic server management.

I have a Palm One PDA which I no longer use because the
touch screen calibration is way off. I have had replaced by
Palm One four times within the past 11 months. Now
that my extended warranty is done, I will not buy a Palm One
device anymore. With this, when it was still useable, I can
connect it to the Internet via Bluetooth to my wireless phone
and VPN over to our LAN at work and then use a VNC
client for the Palm to control my desktop at work and
manage servers in our domain.

So I'm looking to replace my phone/PDA with a single
device. This device must be wifi capable so in case
I'm within a wifi hotspot, I'll use the wifi instead of wireless
phone. BTW my carrier is Sprint - in the USA.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

take a look at
http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/2007...op-connection/

Any PDA which runs WIndows Mobile PDA (or Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional
should work). Personally I'm using a Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone and remote
desktop isn't fun.

Thanks.

I need something which I can RDP to servers to manage simple tasks
like stop/start services, unscheduled reboot, etc.

Again, go to the link i gave you earlier

Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro has RDP software by default. SO get any PDA which is
running on WM6 Pro

Yes, I did. I downloaded the file from one of the links there.
But I don't have the device yet. It's still a plan - to consolidate
2 devices into one smartphone/pda combo. My contract with
the wireless carrier ends in June.
