I think Hagiwara missed the boat here. Yes, I know that there are a number of handhelds that could benefit from this, such as the TG50. But 3/4's of Sony's current handheld line-up offers built-in WiFi. Is someone going to buy a TJ27 and then buy a $130 WiFi card? They would save more money going with the TJ37 + the mp3 capabilities.

And the choice not to pursue their other wireless cards is pretty stupid. You have many PalmOne users out there that don't even have Bluetooth or WiFi built into their handhelds that would benefit from these cards.
