Pico Communications, Palm, Inc., and Stanford University School of Medicine announced the successful trial of a new wireless interactive learning system for medical students. This summer, students used Palm m125 handhelds equipped with the Palm Bluetooth Card, a Secure Digital Input/Output card that slips into an SD/Multimedia expansion slot on many Palm handhelds, and Stanford’s custom-designed software to communicate wirelessly with instructors via Pico’s PicoBlue Internet Access Points. Pico designs and markets access points based on Bluetooth wireless technology, allowing users of Bluetooth-enabled handhelds to quickly and securely connect to the LAN and Internet while preserving battery life.
