    pda for playing streaming media?

    I have some online classes where they broadcast via windows media player at 300kb/s. I would like to get a pda with wlan so I can watch them anywhere in my house or on campus. Does anyone have any idea about how much processing power/ ram I'm going to need to get this done?


    I found this toshiba at a reasonable price with wlan already, how does it look?

    That's the one I was going to recommend.

    But any PDA running Pocket PC 2002 and a 802.11 card can get that done for you.

    The e740 has WiFi built in, whereas some others have a Compact Flash add on card.

    Just remember, the e740 w/ WiFi enabled will suck that battery dry in like an hour. But Toshiba does sell extra batteries, so keep one in your backpack so that you can make it all day on campus
