Treo 600 and WiFi/Bluetooth?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Maybe someone can help me out. I would like to get a Treo 600 GSM soon. Ive been reading about the sd wifi card that is comming out soon. By getting one of these cards, would I be able to surf on my home or school wifi network though the blazer browser? Or would I be limited to GRPS with blazer? Also, is there any wifi/bluetooth sd cards that will work with palm os? I'd like to add BT as well, but that is not as big of a priority.

There is a Palm BT card out.

W/ a WiFi card, you should be able to surf normally on your WiFI network.

No, not yet, but I will keep you posted. Besides interface problems w/ WiFi and PalmOS5, I think the bulk of a dual adapter might be prohibtive. It might be best to get a BT or a WiFi device and add the second as and SDIO card.

I believe that there is a WiFI sled type device out. The name escapes me, but there is info on it @ www.palminfocenter.com in either the news or reviews section.

The palm bluetooth card does not support OS 5 devices.

There is supposed to be a new one coming but I have yet to hear a ship date..

I bet OS 6 will be out before the OS5 SDIO BT card will be out. Supposedly, first OS 6 devices to hit early next year 04.

Current Palm Bluetooth SD card also does not support Headset "profile" - something I hope they will consider if/when ther release Palm5 version. Also hope it supports stereo headset - would't it be cool to listen to mp3 with no cord???

since palmOne and Palmsource split, device development and OS development are no longer linked.

So, OS 6 can come out w/o any comparable hardware from palmOne to use it.
