Default Questions for the technical ppl :)

Well having purchased after all my research an iPAQ 2750, I can say i'm chuffed to bits

I wanted a nice looking iPAQ (some say its ugly, I really like it!) that would do me for Sat Nav and all the other things I want to be able to do, but now I have a few questions

Im NEW to all this remember, so please be kind

I have the PC in a converted brick built, for want of a better word, SHED

Its on the outside of the house, at the front, originally built I imagine for the bins etc, buts its the best room in the house now LOL

I want to be able to use my iPAQ in the house, and be able where ever I am within the house, to check email, surf the net and download stuff.

My connections broadband so my question is..... whats best?

The distance it will need to be able to communicate between itself and the PC is I would say no more than 100 ft in any direction, and I know the Bluetooth or WiFi are the options, so which is best (cost isnt really to much of a consideration I appreciate there are differences in price/choice but I would rather get it right forst time hehehe) Bluetooth or WiFi?

How difficult is it for a complete noobie to set it all up?

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Chris

Wifi is the only option, Bluetooth will only work over approx 10m. If you are not familiar with Wifi then I suggest you do the research before you buy the kit to do it. It's not that hard but some find it harder than others.
