Does PDA have an IP address like a PC has? Firewall access is given to a
certain IP address for PC's to access a Web application. I assume PDA also
has IP address so that it can be added to the list in order to grant it
access to the app. Is that correct?

If it can communicate on the internet - or any IP network - it has to
have an IP address.

To the outside cyberworld, it has an IP-address given by the connecting
ISP, so different ones when connected via your Wifi-router [it is the same
one as your desktop/laptop then], and when connected via GPRS/3g/??, or
when via a hot spot.

Behind the router it [usually] gets a local IP-address from that router,
but that is not/should not be detectable from outside.

So you could share an external IP-adress with many, many other users.

Do not use it for serious and private identification.
