You could plug it into your laptop and use it as a 56k modem.

Hard to make out what it says on the label, but it looks like a PC-card (PCMCIA) 56K Faxmodem. As Evolution noted, you could hook it up to a notebook with a PC-card slot, and use it for dial-up service, or if you can find any around anymore, old-school landline BBSes. I donā€™t recall seeing any PDAs (or at least not any for quite a long time) that supported the PCMCIA interface as such, and certainly not the same form factor.

I used to have a psion PDA - looks like they concentrate on scanners and handheld inventory tracking terminals, now.

Ummmā€¦ Itā€™s kind of hard to say for certain without a better idea of exactly what the label says, but Iā€™m not sure that what youā€™ve got is actually a wireless modem.

When you say that you want to build ā€œsomething likeā€ the robots shown in the link you provide, Iā€™m not entirely sure just what youā€™re getting at. Do you mean that you want to build a bot that reads/writes RFID tags and is controlled via bluetooth? Do you want to just build an autonomous bot that uses a PDA for a brain? Did you want to build one with an OOPic processor? Did you want to build a sumo bot? There are a lot of ideas presented on that page; just saying that you want to build ā€œsomething like thisā€ on a page like that is kind of like pointing to a music store and saying, ā€œI want to learn to play one of thoseā€.
