Pocketster Pro - wireless P2P made possible thanks to Windows Mobile Pocket PC July 11, 2004 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R. That what several corporations in mighty USA failed to attain for years, a small company from Romania (a country from Eastern Europe [*], that on January 1st, 2007 will become full EU member) managed to achieve: wireless P2P (Peer to Peer) = wireless music file sharing. 
Pocket PC devices don't have - usually - enough storage to keep several Giga Bytes of music. On the other hand Apple iPod doesn't have wireless connectivity and no possibility to execute third party programs... combination of those both devices results in wireless P2P become reality: Pocketster is an application that allows your Pocket PC to be discovered by other Pocket PCs in the area or by any PC running a Zeroconf (a.k.a Rendezvous) discovery stack. You can also discover other Pocketster users anywhere on your wireless LAN. [...] Pocketster Pro (the advanced version of Pocketster) takes the idea a step further and adds an iPod Module. The module enables you to publish your iPod playlists and have anyone in the area listen to previews or download tracks wirelessly from those playlists. Some remarks:
* * * * * [*] Romania may be located in Eastern Europe but it belongs to the same family of countries as France, Italy, Spain and Portugal - they speak similar language and have the same origins... so for example if you are an Italian-American then who knows, maybe creators of Pocketster Pro are related to you..
