If you add a wifi SD module to the IPAQ can you do the following:

1. Use Activesync with a desktop PC that functions as a node on a home network, but is wired into the router.

2. Use Activesync with a centrino notebook that of course wifi enabled

3. Simply transfer files between devices over the network wirelessly and thereby avoid the lenghty conversion process. Right now when I copy an mp3, even using explorer, while the IPAQ is docked it slowly converts each file. I can accomplish the same thing, but in a fraction of the time by pulling out my CF card, putting it in a reader and then putting the CF card back in the IPAQ. The MP3s play the same whether they are "converted" or not. I would want to accomplish the same thing wirelessly and avoid this conversion.

4. W/WIFI enabled, is it possible for me to listen to CSPAN using the new 2003 Windows Media 9 client for the IPAQ PPC (comes installed with 2215). I could not so this w/old WM players on the older 3650.

Here's guide for file sharing and streamming mp3 over the network, one of the guide is for bluetooth but the setup is fairly similar.
