What's this board about?

    So what's this board about? One (fairly wide) definition that we can use of wireless is:

    Wireless Technologies denote a subset of Information Technology that interests itself in portable and handheld computing and networking, primarily relying on non-fixed means of communication.

    So that would really encompass technologies that cover:
    • Wireless Internet (e.g. WAP, I-Mode, HDML)
    • WAN's (e.g. Bluetooth, 802.11, IR)
    • Network Standards/Protocols (e.g. GSM, GPRS, SMPP)
    • Messaging/Push (e.g. SMS, Ringtones, MMS)
    • Handheld OS's (PalmOS, EPOC, PocketPC)
    • Other stuff related to wireless & handheld devices (e.g. SyncStations, LBS)

    This is by no means a definitive list (I’m sure bkehoe could add a good few more), but should you be looking for an answer to a question that is, for example, more C++ syntax based (with only a passing connection to wireless) then the Programming board is probably a better option for getting a faster answer. The same goes for discussions that would be better served on the IOFFL board.

    Beyond that the usual rules of relevancy and politeness in posting apply, although this is generally not an issue as we tend to get a better class of poster here ;)
