Nope.

Sorry it doesn't work.

Why the Wi-Fi card would not work in a Treo 650? Is it a software issue or hardware issue?

It's purely business issue.

Actually it's not a busniness issue. It's a power issue. The SD slot on the 600 does not draw enough power to power a wifi card.

Yea Treo 600 has done a great job and would continue to be a great device. However, the topic is on the Treo 650 and from what I have heard the Treo 650 does not have a power issue for a wi/fi card.

Now this is my opinion. If the slot can handle a wi/fi card, then the only issue is software. I hate to say. The Treo 650 would have a wi-fi card really soon. Now it my not be backed by the company but on would be here soon. Too many Treo's not for a third party to pass it up.
Look at the serial/USB cable for the cell phone.
