hx4700 as USB Wireless Card

Can I use the wireless card on the PDA as a network card for the computer the cradle is attached to? Just curious.

I'm afraid you won't easily be able to do that. The PPC does not have routing capabilities so therefore it would be hard to get the PC to use the PPC as a gateway. IP packet forwarding is something that is needed and the PPC does not support it for routing purposes.
