More wireless options just opened up for Pocket PC users today with Earthlink leveraging their acquisition of Omnisky last year.
"EarthLink is serving up its wireless e-mail and Internet services to users of certain handheld devices running the Pocket PC 2002 operating platform, the service provider said Thursday. The Atlanta company joined providers such as AT&T Wireless Services in offering wireless connections to handheld devices from Hewlett-Packard. Those devices include the Jornada handheld as well as the IPaq, which HP added to its product line through its recent acquisition of Compaq.
EarthLink will make available its EarthLink Wireless E-Mail and Internet Service to select models of the IPaq and Jornada using modem attachments. The service packages include access to up to ten POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) and IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol version 4) e-mail accounts. Subscribers can also surf the Internet and customized EarthLink Web content, the company said. Executives of the newly merged HP and Compaq say they plan to phase out the Jornada line and emphasize the stronger IPaq line of handhelds."
