Windows
XP Unwired
Many discussions of wireless networking begin and end with Wi-Fi.
Not this one. Lee knows Bluetooth backward and forward, and he shows
exactly how to make the most of it, configuring and connecting with both
Bluetooth access points and Bluetooth-enabled Pocket PCs. There’s also a
full chapter on IrDA infrared support in Windows XP, including file
transfer and security. And, if you’re going where no Wi-Fi hotspot has
gone before you, Lee discusses your options for cellular networking --
from 1G through advanced 3G/GPRS (if you’re lucky enough to find it).
You’ll find thorough coverage of Global Positioning Systems, including
using Microsoft Streets and Trips with GPS.
