device w/Wifi,Bluetooth & external monitor
Hi,
I'm looking for a Windows CE device with Wifi, Bluetooth, and which
can also drive an external monitor at around 800x600 resolution.
The idea is that most of the time it will live on my belt and talk
with a Bluetooth phone in my pocket, but occasionally it will sit on
my TV stand at home and run VNC Viewer so that I can view my PC's
display on my (Samsung TXN-3298NF) HDTV, but wirelessly by Wifi:

Thanks for any tips,

Re: device w/Wifi,Bluetooth & external monitor
Doesn't exist, at least out of the box. You can make one though. The
definite third party requirement is the VGA out. There are several CF card
VGA-out gismos available. Of course that requires a CF slot. You could go
for a high dollar device that has WiFi and BT built in, plus a CF slot, and
get a VGA card, or you could go with one of the sleeve capable iPAQs that
has BT or WiFi and get a dual slot sleeve that can support the VGA and
whatever RF option that isn't installed.
I seem to recall that some of the Handheld PCs had native VGA ports, but
don't recall them having WiFi or BT. Do seem to remember some having both CF
and PCcard slots, but can't say if the configuration exists to allow, say a
BT CF and a WiFi PC Card (or CF in an adapter) together.

Re: device w/Wifi,Bluetooth & external monitor
Jonathan,
You may have some luck with the iPAQ 545X or 555X series since they
have builtin bluetooth and wifi, you can add a CF video out card to
the unit via an add-on sleeve. Another option would be either the
Toshiba e740/e750 that has built-in WiFi and add the toshiba BT SDIO
card and a CF video out card or the iPAQ 221X series that has built-in
bluetooth and you can add WiFi via one of the newer SDIO WiFi cards
that have just come out by SanDisk,Socket, and a few others. There are
several options out their for video out the most popular would be a
product like the LifeView FlyPresenter CF or the Margi CF
Presenter-to-Go.
