Here Is What I Am Looking To Do:

I Have About 25 Guys "in The Field" I Want To Equip Them With Mobile Pocket Pc's Possibly With Bluetooth For Gps.

I Have Looked At Audiovox Theras And The Hp Ipaq.

Basically I Want Them To Have A "wireless Application" For Their Pocket Pc That Communicates With A Database At Our Office. The Device Will Not Be Used As A Phone!!!

The Application Would:
Capture Gps Coordinates And Send Them To Our Database Every Few Minutes Or So /// Provide Us With Customer Reference Numbers /// Have Signature Capture /// Able To Use A Barcode Asseccery

I Want An Always-on Connection.
Verizon's Express Network Seems You Have To "dial In" To Connect. Nextel Phones Seem To Have Packet Data That Does Not Seem To Require "dialing In"

I Am Familiar With Visual Basic, But I Have Heard A Lot About J2me, But I Am Not Familiar With Object Orientated Programming, So I Would Prefer To Develop The Application In Visual Basic. I Have Already Ordered Visual Studio.net 2003.

Would It Be Better In The Long Run To Learn Java 2 And J2me??
What Would Be A Good Database That Would Communicate With These Pocket Pc's?

Am I Missing Something Here???
