The San Francisco Palm User Group (SFPUG), a membership organization comprised of businesspeople and others interested in handheld computing, together with Motient Corporation, announced the results of an independent wireless product review of Motient’s newly released MobileModem. The review, conducted by SFPUG president Tony Ching, field-tested the MobileModem, a 5-ounce device that attaches to Palm V and Vx series handhelds and enables instant wireless, two-way email functionality. The review spanned one month and measured metrics including set up time, reliability, network speed, and general ease of use, among other factors.
