Android can connect to [[VT_WLAN]]. Needing , but needing to log in via the browser can be annoying, however. Setting up [[VT-Wireless]] is recommended. To do so, follow the [[VT-Wireless#PEAP-MSCHAPv2|PEAP-MSCHAPv2]] instructions. As of spring 2010, no known, non-rooted version of Android has an interface for handling the EAP-TLS certificates.

Notes and as of spring 2010, no way to connect to VTtask lists must be handled through third-Wireless from an HTC Eris without rooting party solutions like [http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ Remember the device has been discoveredMilk].

=Synchronization=ActiveSync==Synchronization of contacts, calendar events and email ActiveSync is possible through three mechanisms. Proprietary applications provide the only access to consolidated note and task list access, but best method for synchronizing your data if you don't mind your information being separateduse Google web services. Located under Settings->Data synchronization->Exchange ActiveSync, thirdthe originally proprietary ActiveSync protocol allows for fully configurable over-the-party solutions like air synchronization thanks to the open source [http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ Remember the Milk[Z-Push]]project.

Google web applications are the default on some systems like the HTC Eris. Beware that giving your phone your Gmail credentials can result in your phone contacts being drowned in a flood of email contacts imported from Gmail. If you don't want to use Google's services, navigate to Settings->Data synchronization->Google and uncheck Auto-sync and Background data. ==ActiveSync==Located under Settings->Data synchronization->Exchange ActiveSync, the originally proprietary ActiveSync protocol allows for fully configurable over-the-air synchronization thanks to the open source [[Z-Push]] project.

Synchronization over a cable is the third available option. A walkthrough on how to do this from Linux would be nice.

The builtin email client and calendar, along with the HTC widgets, perform relatively well. There is no native task-management software. Astride [http://weloveastrid.com/ Astrid] is recommended for that purpose. It can sync with RemeberTheMilkRememberTheMilk.

To connect to a remote server over secure shell, use the [http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/ ConnectBot ] application available from the Android Market. To insert a tab character with the virtual keyboard, press the trackball and then the i key. To insert an escape character with the soft keyboard, press.the trackball twice. To page up and down, scroll with the touchscreen on the left side. Further special key instructions can be found in the ConnectBot documentation.
