Hi! I want to develop an application for a Palm OS based handheld (especially IBM WorkPad) that gets all data from a server over the internet but has an offline functionality. The problem is, how to notify the application about the availability of new data on the server while not online (connected via an expensive GSM internet connection) without the need for regularly pull? The only possible mechanism is probably via SMS!? So I need a permanently connected mobile (with GSM card for Europe): - mobile permanently connected via cable - an attached wireless modem - an attached bluetooth port that is connected to a bluetooth capable mobile phone How to automatically check for a received SMS, is there any standard api? Or is the mechanism special to the used hardware? Has anyone a source example how to check for a received SMS and read it? Thanx. Andreas
