RE: Palm OS Dead?
except for the only serious WIFI option for the Treo 650, the Enfora WIFI sled. A bit 1990's, isn't it.

They said I only argued for the sake of arguing, but after an hour I convinced them they were wrong...
RE: Palm OS Dead?
RE: Palm OS Dead? Yes, unfortunately PalmOS is DEAD.
Access did when they announced the death of Cobalt/PalmLinux last week. Since PalmOS has officially been relegated to staying as a gussied-up version of PalmOS 4 running as an emulator within a smartphone OS that won't be available on devices for at least 2 more years, most people would agree that PalmOS indeed is DEAD. Thank Allah that PalmOS survived long enough for gems like the Samsung i500 and CLIE UX50/TH55/VZ90 to be produced. At least the PalmOS faithful have a few devices to use over the next decade as we resist the inevitable triumph of Microsoft. (Desktop OS, laptop OS, word processor, spreadsheet, web browser, presentation app, email app, media player, database app, personal finance app, server, email server, gaming device, PDA OS, smartphone OS, feature phone OS... Yikes!)
Onward, PalmOS soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Hawkins going on before

RE: Palm OS Dead?
You know, if someone could come up with a multifunction sled that'd have something like a barcode scanner, Power to Go style battery pack/recharger, and wi-fi sled all in a single device it'd still make sense for vertical or industrial style applications. Now, there's a distressing amount of handhelds utilizing the UC or Athena (ie nothing made by Symbol) nowadays but it still would make sense for certain applications.
An accessory sled still likely makes more sense than a fragile piece of SDIO vaporware!

God speed, TVoR. May you spread your vile and misinformation somewhere else but here.
Legacy palm support
I wish palm had not gone the way of Handspring and done these "fake" serial ports that can't talk to real DCE equipment without a battery powered converter.

RE: Legacy palm support
Yep, all recent palm models have USB capability. USB slave that is. They can only talk to a desktop, not another USB peripheral.
And I won't argue that serial is probably a useless legacy technology for most consumers. But I guess it irritates me that palm does such a half @ss job on serial when it would be so easy to do it right. They save $.25 by not putting a real serial UART in there and instead using some GPIO pins on the processor.

RE: Legacy palm support
LOL, Don't fall into the trap that newer is better
Don't blame the (USB) standard, blame the ones who fail to implement its relevant elements; there's the USB on the Go standard for allowing certain devices i.e. PDAs to connect directly to keyboards, flash drives etc.http://www.usb.org/developers/onthego/
