Wi-Fi for Treo

Archived from groups: alt.comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Is there a wi-fi card available for the Treo? If yes, best places to get it?
TIA

The specs have yet to be officially released (since PalmOne still
wants to sell their #1 smartphone i.e. Treo 600). However, the current
rumours don't make any mention of WiFi access for the upcoming Treo
650. The current rumours only mention: slightly higher resolution
camera, higher resolution screen, and bluetooth enabled.

Personally, I would love to have WiFi access on my Treo 600...
however, I would settle for an SD/MMC slot that supports 3rd party
WiFi cards.

Not that I have any inside info, but I bet the Treo 650 has BT but not WiFi.
For some reason Palm is ignoring the WiFi market. I can also see where the
Telcos wouldn't necessarily want WiFi in a smartphone. It would take some of
their wireless internet business away. Not that I agree, but I can see their
twisted logic.
