A: I know those shark antennas require a special connector. so it probally would work with your network card. also that card is just for wifi, so its not goin to work very well while driving. Too use internet while driving you have to pay for the service, http://www.cingular.com/cell-phone-s...nect-plans.jsp its $80 just for the service from cingular...laptop connect..

yeah, have a wifi card, and look for a wifi hotspot and park there and use the internet,

yes. and no

some pay the fee and some have a dataplan on their cellphones and just tether the computer to the phone

actually you can get internet for about $6 month with Boost Mobile. There's a huge thread about it on mp3car.com. I have read it in a while, but that's what I was thinking of getting.

Let me find the link.

I installed Tiny XP and iGuidancev3 today, i must say the bootime is a lot quicker. but the iguidance v3 is a big of an eyesore. i think they over did it with fonts on the maps. But im having complications with centrafuse. none of the buttons are showing up ftl, so i am goin to reinstall it(centrafuse) tomarro and transfer some music
