...the Jornada 820 that ran Windows CE.

I know these Jornadas (Jornadae?) came/come with MS Internet Explorer on them. Does that mean that they had/have wireless networking capability? Or must they be linked to a PC to access the internet?

They came with pocket Internet Explorer and I think you could connect with an ethernet cable or via a dial up modem. Their basic drawback was the price. Windows CE was the first embedded operating system and it did too little from a price standpoint for the Jupiter line to be profitable. ASUS learned from that and what you get with the eee PC line is not a dumbed down version of Windows but a full fledged real operating system and all the included applications just like a full size computer.
