Wifi for treo 650

Ships with its own battery, so you won't drain your while you're rocking the WiFi, but the resulting add-on is so huge that you have to really, really need to have WiFi to justify carrying it around. We'll either wait for palmOne to cave and release some drivers for their SD WiFi card or for Shadowmite to perfect his hackery.

I think not, but they better get with it and come out with something like a T3 with Wi-Fi capability built in No, PalmOne isn't going out of business, but for the near term their shareholders will be getting it in the shorts.

They'll need some good news to bounce their share price back, and they'll need to ditch a bunch of those backlogged Treos. Start looking for good deals on the Treo real soon. As for good news for the stock, new devices are usually good for that, but their next release cycle isn't until around April, and even then we probably won't see anything more powerful than a mid-range Zire.

Yes, PalmOne's bungling with whole WiFi issue has definitely put a crimp in their sales, for the current quarter as well as the last. The unit must be charged for two hours before use, with a small amber LED blinking while charging. This turns to solid green when the Treo is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Mac users will have to manually install the driver which is simple enough.

Getting connected It has to be said that getting the WiFi Sled on to your Treo is a bit of a palaver, needing a dexterity akin to the Vulcan death grip. Once you've changed the battery cover you have to pull the button on the sled, give the Treo an almighty shove downwards and then click the phone back into place. The first few times we tried this, it took so much effort to pull the phone in and out of the sled we began to fear we'd end up breaking the thing.

In the end, we just took the cover off and fitted the Treo bareback, if you, err, get our drift. Once wedged into the sled, we turned on the unit, clicked on the Wi-Fi icon on the Treo and ran the Enfora application to look for available wireless base stations WBS.
