At last, the much awaited Wi-Fi card from palmOne has been launched. Out in stores by September 3, 2004 at $125.00. Unfortunately, it can only be used on Tungsten T3 and Zire 72. PalmOne's explanation why only two of their handhelds can use the card sounds as if, there are hardware incompatabilities with the other handhelds. SanDisk was first to release a WiFi SD Card, which is compatible with PPC and Zire 71, the only palmOne handheld that can use the said product. The palmOne WiFi card comes with a whopping 4MB installer which should be installed into the Palm and will extract itself but fortunately will leave only 1MB of footprint and is hardware specific.
Now I wonder if SanDisk will comeout with their own version/revision of the product since the palOne virtually released the driver for the other handhelds.
