Yes, we are looking at a variety of wireless options for SI.

That wasn't the question asked by the post.

Here is what you guys are working on (or should be).

1) Palm 7 version... Primary features out the door now. Improvements and fixes will be the focus.

You answered another post earlier which indicated that you support all Palm devices that support Web Clipping. Well the PALM 7 is the only Palm device that supports Web Clipping on the market.

2) Small screen (PALM, WinCE) focused version that uses the native infrastructure of the wireless internet today. Wireless IP (CDPD) is supported in many areas.

This version could support a wide array of platforms and potentially have the most widespread use.

3) A WAP version of your site. There will be many devices that support WAP and you will need to figure out what features are appropriate for the different size screens. You may want to have RT quotes, alerts and news available to cell phone users but more data available to devices with larger screens.

4) Offline version. There should be a way to use SI offline on small screen devices as well. It would be nice to sync certain threads to read offline, write offline responses and post them on the next palm sync.

This was the version that you were ask about from the previous poster.
