However for those selected members this unit is very good. Installation was simple, software easy to use and more importantly the experience was user friendly and good.
Better still is that if you are running a wireless network on your base computer you can Hotsync over the network rather than having to do it via cradle. If you're a Zire 72 or Tungsten T3 user this will certainly boost your PDA's productivity, just make sure you check the bottom of the bag for the card every time you get the PDA out.

Watch our Welcome Guide to learn how to use this site. Joined Jun 25, Messages Please forgive my ignorance about this but I'm not sure that I am interpreting this information correctly. So - my question is - does adding the card then allow the Palm Zire to become WiFi? DoubleHelix Banned. Joined Dec 9, Messages 24, That is ideal for corporate and campus networks that typically have multiple APs working together.
Once the card is setup and your network connection is established, you can now take full advantage of your wireless connection. For my review I used the card with a Zire The wireless range was very good, it even seems much stronger than the Tungsten C's range.
Because the card sticks out of the top of the handheld about an three quarters of an inch, I'm nervous about leaving it inserted while stored away in my pocket where it could easily snap.
During my testing I found I get about 90 minutes to 2. In short, it definitely draws a lot of power and will make a big impact on your handheld battery life. If you want to get more juice out of the T3, there is the palmOne power to go battery expansion sled. I had some issues with it not wanting to connect to my particular access point. I was unable to conclude if it was an issue with the SD card or my access point but it definitely had a hard time connecting every so often.
While it was not a major problems as it was usually overcome with a reset, it was something worth noting. So why is the card only available for the T3 and Zire 72, and not other models with SD slots? The official answer from palmOne is: Following market and development-cost analysis, palmOne wanted to develop a Wi-Fi card that will be applicable to its Zire 72 and Tungsten T3 handhelds. These solutions require very tight integration between hardware, firmware and custom software, as well as access to propriety technologies for the level of tight integration necessary to give the customer an excellent experience.
In other words it sounds like the differences between other models SD slots and other factors such as power draw and battery capacity, made is cost prohibitive to develop it for other handhelds. The card works well, is extremely easy to setup, configure and provides excellent range. However, it is a tad pricey and is definitely a power thirsty addition.
It is also compatible with the Treo w. Overall Rating: 7. PalmInfocenter is not responsible for them in any way. Please Login or register here to add your comments.

RE: Finally Where is it on palmOne's site?
It's not in the store and its not listed in their accessories page. Improved battery capacities on the OS6 models will mean longer continuous usage with this card, for one. What I'd like to see next is the shorter-length, improved battery life BT card and new drivers Toshiba promised us, what, 2 years ago?
I broke a Veo camera that way! My January prediction for this release date falls in line. I'll jump for this because I've got a T3. In fact, this is one of the reasons why I did the conversion. Next: It would be nice to see a case with a modified slot that can hold this card appear too sometime soon. Would you care to elaborate? My original T3 could get 4 or 5 hours proper initial charge, conditioning , but that was sent back for a screen defect.
The refurb unit was not so fortunate and only gets 2 to 3 hours, which has made keep my eyes open for upgrades or a new replacement battery. Did you install a higher rated battery? If we prod sleuth nicey, he may post an "at your own risk" how-to guide with pics.
I did the process myself on my T3 without actually installing the battery! It wasn't bad at all if you are patient and have good lighting and nimble fingers.
Hell froze over finally! It's unfortunate they limited the number of handhelds this will work with. But fortunately, I own a T3 and I'll be first in line to get one. Thanks to everyone for raising a stink to get Palm to create one! RE: Hell froze over finally! What will be the price on eBay?
These were not scams. Lots of folks bought it at that price. I always wondered how those eBay dealers could sell at that price and make a profit. From whence did they obtain their stock?
