    Default connectivity

    i am very interested in owning a Palm, but my only setback is this. are there any Palms out there that i can connect to a 802.11b wireless internet account service. My school and many other places sponsor wireless actitivty and i was wondering which palm or pda would be able to use this. I really like the Palm i705, but i do not want to get the palm.net service. would i be able to get access to my email and special websites with this device and not the palm.net service? thanks

    Nothing running PalmOS has 802.11b out of the box, but you can purchase 802.11b adaptors for various models. There are sled-like ones for the M500 series, and there's been talk for a while about an SDIO card version that would work in most modern Palms.

    There are a very few PocketPC's that come with 802.11b built-in, but even these are unusual. Bluetooth, with it;s smaller size and reduced power requirements, is more popular.

    There are at least two SDIO 802.11b cards in the works, one of which should be released by 03Q2.
