I have a Sprint aircard. I would like to use it as a modem for a handheld PDA or Handheld computer. Are there any PDA's or handheld computers that would allow me to do this? Are there any adapters associated with certain products which would enable me to do this?

I have a Sprint PC-5740. My goal is to be able to use the aircard as a modem for my PC and as a modem for handheld. I'd get a different air card if it made a difference.

Sprint PC-5740 is a 32 bits cardbus pcmcia, None of the Windows Mobile/ Pocketpc can use this type of card dues to hardware limitation. Only regular 16 bits pcmcia card can be used. I believe you'll need and older Airacard 555 pc card or Sprint CF2031 if your handheld has cf slot.
