get one for my Zaurus 5500 but all I've seen advertised are 802.11b cf
cards.

I have an AJAX application that is now supposed to run on mobile
browser.
I have been told that the most significant players are symbian os and

After a bit of thought, I've come to realise that I don't want to
synchronise the calendar in my new Treo with a desktop PC but would like to
synchronise it directly with a web-based calendar. That way, friends and
family can look online and see if I'm free or not rather than ...

Has anyone successfuly synced Lifedrive with Yahoo calendar?  Why wont it
work for me?
