I brought my newly connected Visor into work the next day, and it made quite a buzz in the office. Browsing the Internet in full color on my Visor Prism and getting maps from MapBlast (at http://www.mapblast.com) impressed even the most jaded of my coworkers. Even my boss, whom I originally convinced to get a Visor, was excited and decided to order one of these cables for himself.

I really have to give SupplyNet major kudos for developing this simple product. Those of us who don't have a lot of money to throw around or don't want another monthly bill can truly appreciate this nifty little cable. This is also a great way to consolidate your gadgetry, since I'm sure most everybody has a cell phone by now. I mean, who would make the leap to the wireless Web before even getting a cell phone?

Ordering the cable is a breeze, you may either buy it online, or you can call in your order (as I did with my 101 questions). Their customer service is absolutely excellent. I appreciated that I was able to talk to a knowledgeable human being right away. The cable only ran me $46 with shipping, and the wireless Web feature only costs me $7 extra a month with my wireless service. Delivery was quick; my package arrived two business days after the day I ordered my cable. I'm a happy man.

So I would recommend that everybody check out this low-cost solution to getting the wireless Web on your Palm OS handheld. It's a very small investment, and you don't have to be a total nerd to set up your connection. Best of all, this cable makes the "cool" factor of the wireless Web available to everyone. Have fun!
