It's going to be the first wifi device ive ever owned, and am not quite clear how it works. I have an 802.11b wireless router, so does that mean that when I turn on the PDA near it, and open Internet Explorer, it will just automaticaly pick up the signal and I will be able to surf the web?? And same with hotspots... Like, if im at starbucks or something, and turn on yhe pda and open IE, will it just sence the wifi automaticaly and im good to go??

There will be some intital setup you'll have to do on the pda. For home network, if it's setup properly on that end, you should be able to do what you described. For hotspot, if they are free, it should be the same, if they are not free, you may have to go through login procedures.

There're tutorials and FAQ if you need more information:
