WiFi distance

[emipop]

HELLO TO EVERYBODY. This is my first post on this forum.
1. I decided that I will buy a PDA: asus myPAL A716. all the review i read about it are excelent. I found only one not so good. (http://palmtops.about.com/gi/dynamic/of ... 6%5FReview)
It says that the wirelles distance to APN is small.

Wi-Fi A growing number of handhelds are offering Wi-Fi, a medium-range wireless networking standard. This doesn't work like a mobile phone; you have to be fairly close to an access point

Does anyone know something about it??

2. I really need my PDA to have a Phone function too.
so far the a716 is the best I could get below 500 dolars. but I would pay more for a730W but I tnih it`s not a phone. did`nt find that specified in any review, even if it has the signal icon up right near the watch. is it a phone or not?

WiFi is just like wireless ethernet. It is not any type of cellular service. I guess you could do VOIP with it, but there is nothing about it that is anything to do with cellular. The a716 is not a SmartPhone.

However, as far as WiFi goes, I think the a716's range is extremely good. It is as good as the WiFi integrated into my last two laptops.

Neither the a716 nor a730 are phones.

if you want something in the way of phones, check out the Asus P505. Warning: its got a hefty price tag
