Why is 802.11x connectivty that important for these types of devices?

for speed and when out of 3G coverage, and to avoid consuming your data plan when wifi is available

802.11x?? I dunno, with my former Windows CE/ME PDA's, I used it to get data faster, even EDVO. Also in a Wincentric environment I could run servers and desktops in Terminal Server mode.
Just look at it as a more secure (I Hope!) way of using my phone.

Looking good for the future of the < .mobi > space, still evaluating the options, to LAUNCH with APPLE or GOOGLE APP'S., that is the question? More impact lese initial client base but larger in the future, as well as more operational interactivity I hope.! That is my thought. Have a nice Day, after 30 years research there is no rush.
