Welcome to our new iPAQers!
This week our project began in earnest in Perth and in Miri Malaysia--with Ethiopia to start soon!
Don't forget to check out the project website http://lsn.curtin.edu.au/hpsite/index.html which includes instructions for updating for wireless (ONLY for Bentley students--Miri and Ethiopia students' iPAQs are ready to go!)
Welcome aboard! For any technical enquires, please email Sam Hobson Samuel Hobson [samuel.hobson@student.curtin.edu.au] or Mat Higgins [mathieuhiggins@iinet.net.au]--they are waiting to help you :-)

Great find by Matt Higgins...
Matt says:
I have found a really good Avantgo channel dedicated to finding Wi-fi hotspots!!! (and the best bit is it works in perth! :D) it's called "jiwire" and finds both free hotspots and also pay hotspots... ie. free one at a cafe on Murray st called "Infusion Coffee & Tea" and it gives adresses and ph numbers etc.
The URL is http://www.jiwire.com/hotspot-locator-pda.htm
Thanks Matt--well done!

Help is on its way: 2 things
Hi--thanks to all of you who came and relieved us of muffins, quiche, donuts and so on yesterday....it was a good chance to catch up. Two things from our conversation: first thanks to Matt for his post telling us that student accounts don't seem to be functioning on wireless and that Peter Hicks is looking into this; and second--a more long term solution--just came across this this morning: http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/--the mobile web project is in full swing--they are going to work at making your mobile web experience much better!

Free food!
Ha! Knew that would get you....come to the LSN, all trial participants, and have coffee and muffins at 12noon on Thursday 19 May, and tell us how you're going with your ipaq. Many students have made exciting discoveries: software which can let you send messages via Bluetooth (I'm sure that's educational....), and all sorts of other things.... This is an infomal gettogether. If you can't make it, post to the blog and tell us what software or special quirks you've found.
And also....re: wireless for the iPAQs. We now have your accounts set up so you can access wireless on campus BUT we have since discovered that your iPAQ will have to have updated software--we are working on that right now! More (good?) news soon :-)

Back to blogging
Hi all--I have just asked Seng to remove the WebCT discussion board, just because it's the blogging that I would really like you to try out and see what you think.
When we set up small group blogs for you--and that will be very soon--you will be able to post directly to your own small blog....so that will be better. In the meantime, please stick around this site.... Thanks, Beverley

Hi folks--if you're in the trial, you've had the iPAQ for about a week now, and chances are you've had a good play with it. Even if your not a trialler, how about reponding to my survey down this screen a bit--just under my pic--would you buy an iPAQ to use in your study? Thanks!
