Darrell,

I've heard of them, I have seen some articles in the various PC rags. The wireless feature would be built in, no addin cards, etc. Have not seen anything specific in the way of manufacturer/model news. IBM's new Thinkpad line, (A20 and T series models) already come with an included port for bluetooth in the LCD casing. That said, when I saw that chart in the WSJ article showing HWP with the top percentage growth spot, I got so shook up that I now have to run out and grab a 'Venti' Starbucks coffee to calm down <gggg>...

Regards,
John

Darrel - re: "you want a wireless PC, you buy a new one. you can't buy an add on part."

Not true - wireless cards for both PCs and laptops are under $200. Cellular based wireless has been available for about 4 years at similar prices.
