Here are some other ways you can use your Ethernet connection:

• Access shared drives on the company network to copy files to my device;
• Access email servers;
• You and your colleagues can access SQL servers and perform queries of corporate databases;
• Backup your device!

Having an Ethernet card in your device makes synchronization and others tasks quicker. As the number of tasks you perform with a Windows CE device increases, so does your productivity.
