This an official and standard price-list. If you need - you can buy much more ... 5, 10 or 20 GB ...
I think that for mobile connection even 500 MB will be enough - but I can be wrong ... :-)

Maybe Hero is not so good hardware solution - I know that it hasn't keybord ... one of my guy has Hero and is happy of using it ... however one guy is not 50 guys ;-)

Fun project? Means a very little? maybe ...

Tom,

Looks like era.pl max data package is 500MB /month and 12gr for each
100kB. So you're talking about 16MB/day (or 128000000 bits/day) to stay
within the package.

HTC Hero has support for SQLite
(http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/40842/0/page/1) so you can store
your data on the phone. It also has Bluetooth, WIFI and USB. Naturally
I would choose WIFI to sync data from your iSeries to the device. So
your mobile app would need sync functionality when @home. It would
connect to your LAN and talk to an internal Web Service to retrieve
updated data. To speed up the sync process you would need to somehow
implement record versioning so you're only updating new data. One
downside is that hero doesn't have a keyboard.

This sounds like a fun project.
Chris
