	Success with PDA's as phones has never seemed possible.  Power is one 
issue.  Most people have reported getting pocket pc sip phones to work 
(with 802.11), but they have ridiculous short talk times, I want to say 
that I have never heard of anyone getting more than an hour out of any 
device/battery combination.

	With the Zaurus SL-5500 (the only PDA I have) I got stuck on the pinout 
of the headphone/mic jack and put it on the backburner...
