    I have an old Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 (2002) that I really don't have a use for. I'm not going to try to sell it on Ebay because I won't get any money for it and I don't want to throw it away because it works fine.

    A have decided that I want to turn it into a web browser. Here's the hardware I have:

    The PDA
    64 MB flash drive (it goes in the slot and the PDA can access it)
    a Linksys WiFi receiver (plugs in via. USB)
    a 4 to 1 USB hub

    I need to do three things:
    1. get a browser for the PDA
    2. find a way to connect the PDA to the WiFi receiver (the PDA has a USB cord)
    3. find a way to make the PDA use the receiver.

    Any ideas? The PDA runs Palm OS 4.1 and has 16 MB of RAM and 4 MB of ROM.

    Please help.

    The Wifi adapter will not work with the Clie. I would sell it for around $25.00 or so for someone to use for their kid, or even keep it just for a home cardfile for keeping addresses handy at the telephone.

    Otherwise, the handheld will do nothing more.

    This is true it will not work, but why would you want a really tiny web browser anyway? My Axim is great if I have to use it for that but If I can avoid it at all I will.
