Is there any program out there for the PDA that will allow you too chat via Bluetooth/Wifi THAT WORKS on OS 2003.

Also, is there a way to tranffer files between two PDA using WIFI and not Bluetooth/Infra red? Any specific programs out there?

Microsoft Portrait has chat/voice/video functions:

For wifi file transfer, one way to do it is setting up ftp server on pocketpc

There are several ftp clients such as Resco File Explorer that you may already have.

Also, I believe you can transfer files using Portrait between PocketPCs via WiFi. I know you can transfer files between a PocketPC and a desktop using Portrait. The nice thing about Portrait is that you can call direct IP-to-IP, ie. no server is involved...

I used Portrait in the past, for audio conferencing, with my WiFi equipped iPAQ 5555 and older 3835. I now use Skype for full duplex audio conferencing on my iPAQ 5555...
