PDA resolutions

Hi guys,

I'm going to buy a PDA soon but 1 thing confuses me, for a 240x240 resolution device vs a 320x240 resolution (think its QVGA?) is there any difference other than being smaller?

I mean will there be applications that does not work in a 240x240 device? If so any example of applications?

802.1q over ISL

Gentlemen, is there a real world difference between ISL and 802.1Q trunking that you have faced in your corporate environment/experience?

I understand about ISL only supporting about 1000 VLANS and that ISL is Cisco only. Also ISL adds almost 30 byte to the header. So far anybody seen any affect these jumbo frames present?

Saying that, does this mean ISL is not efficient and affects performance as compared to 802.1Q?

Also what does it mean that 802.1Q does not tag frames on the native VLAN?

Does Cisco consider ISL legacy and dropping it from newer products?

FineTV as broadband?

I read that FineTV is a pay-per-view/on demand using broadband. If you read from their website (think its www.finetv.com.my), the boxes allows you to surf the net with your TV.

Anyone with info of will they be providing the broadband? or they just piggyback off streamyx?

I also read from their web of some form of antenna installation. This is all too confusing.
