The only comment I have on this - a DM DVR can (theoretically) be viewed over the net on a PDA. There is software available which you can use to view remotely on a Windows Mobile device. I use it occasionally, but it's horrendously slow, and that's using a Wi-Fi connection. On GPRS it's downright painful. The processing power on an MDA Vario just doesn't cut the mustard. Might be better with a faster processor.

hi Phil,

very interesting comment made on the Vario to me and i'm surprised a bit.

i have a spare SPV Vario, came free on change over of sevice provider but i still use my much loved MIO A701 as have more use for satnav than wifi built in.

i have an access point at home, (usrobotic 125) but not used it for remote viewing yet, but which is why i chose the Vario. i've found it very fast on the web, loading and rendering either gprs or WiFi in a blink.

so is it the client viewer program at fault? not all are wrote really brilliantly.
