Question

What sort of things hardware wise restrict the throughput of the axim? Im thinking heat would be a problem running it at higher power levels, due to more powerful processors. (a super cooled axim maybe?!)

Would a normal laptop wireless card produce 5-6mb/s throughput? If so, why so much more than the axim?

In other words, why does throughput depend on the device and not the network factors like CSMA/CD that reduce speeds?

Also, if running a mixed mode 802.11g router, i hear throughput is around 20mbs. Would the throughput of the axim increase relative to the network speed increase, seeing as it is working at a higher level 'b' speed?

I'm also conused about CF, does this refer to the network card inside a PDA? Is it removable/replaceable? I understand you can get sd cards with built in wireless receivers - is this the same concept but just with the compact flash format of cards?

Interesting.
