mp3s from my desktop?

[Ryde _Or_Die]

Well I was wondering if you can sync with your home desktop and go through programs (ares) and play mp3s off of it? Or can you download ares (or other p2p programs) to any pda? Also, what size hard drives do current pda's have?


Oh and one more question. What do I need to buy to take advantage of SD and mini SD capabilities? And what should I be looking at price-wise? Thanks in advance.

You know, off the top of my head I do remember there being some p2p apps for PPC but I don't remember much about them. I'll do a quick look. But just in advance, I don't think the ppc (or even probably the palms) are powerful enough to really take advantage of p2p, or rather it'd significantly slow down your device while running.

"What do I need to buy to take advantage of SD and mini SD capabilities? "

Not much really. If the card is in the pda when you sync you'll see it as a seperate card to add stuff to. Otherwise you could pick yourself up a cheap SD/Mini-sd card reader that connects to your PC via USB and use that instead.

Use Pricegrabber (www.pricegrabber.com) for finding out prices. They're all fairly cheap depending on the size you want.

But can I play MP3s off my home PC on a pda or do I have to put them on an SD card?

You can stream it off of your pc using www.orb.com

Yeah, Orb is pretty sweet especially with ev-do to get those highspeeds. Just a great program to use regardless of your pda phone choice.
