Palm Finally Announces SD WiFi Card

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-it-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

Estranged42 writes "After years of waiting, Palm announced today that it will release an SD 802.11b card for its Tungsten T3 and Zire 72 handhelds. This comes after years of anticipation and speculation about this card ever happening. It should be arriving sometime in September for $129. I think I'm still looking forward to getting one. The Register and others are carrying the story."

    "I can't see the advantage of using a palm over using a small notebook (12" ibook or powerbook for example)"

    You must have REALY big pants if you can fit an iBook in your pocket.

    This is excellent. Now maybe after i lose THIS tiny expensive peice of hardware it can be friends with my 512mb thumbdrive and my USB bluetooth adapter, wherever they may be. Its nice to know they wont be lonley. Maybe they can use the 802.11 to signal thier location, like Gilligans Island.

    I guess they gave you a discount for having to put up with such a hideous operating system, huh?

    You should carry two of those because as a wise philosopher (Jack Handey) once said:

    Always carry two bags of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these bags."

    I'm never without my Man Bag either, but I don't think it (or the objects in it) weigh 4 pounds.

    Unless I were to brag.
