Here is the list of devices which are known or have been reported to work well (or not) with Place Lab.

This list is constantly evolving. Not appearing in this list certainly does not mean Place Lab will not work on your device. Place Lab is highly portable and adaptable, however the wide breadth of devices, vendors, and configurations inherently means this list may be incomplete for your particular hardware mix. We encourage you to try it out since new positive experiences are reported to us all the time! Please send correctioins, updates, caveats, or notes for the HCL to placelab-users@lists.sourceforge.net so the entire community can benefit and this chart can be updated.

Some WiFi cards do not work well or at all because they cache APs in a strange way, do not allowing standard scanning, or report proprietary scales for signal strength. Some PDAs and many phone devices unfortunately lack a Java virtual machine, their WiFi/GSM parameters are programmatically inaccessible, or their OS (like with Pocket PC 2002) does not have a standard API to the 802.11 or Bluetooth radios.
