Enthusiast Hacks WiFi Into Treo 650

Posted by timothy on Monday January 3, 2005 @04:36PM from the good-deeds-to-punish dept.

Sammy at PalmAddict writes "Shadowmite, a Palm enthusiast has managed to hack his Palm One Treo 650 smartphone, enabling it to work with the Palm One WiFi card, despite Palm admitting the Treo was never designed to use WiFi technology. Shadowmite managed to get his hands on the Pa1m One WiFi card and modify it so that his Treo 650 could use it. The experiment was a success, and is causing quite a stir -- putting pressure on Palm One to provide support and fully support the new drivers."

A Treo would make a sexy as hell cordless phone
