RE: Why not GPRS Compact Flash?

No real need. If all new PDAs come with Bluetooth (hint to Sony); and all new mobiles also have Bluetooth (all the new ones in Europe anyway, but then we're not saddled with Qualcomm!); then you end up with a much more flexible package.
I need a phone *all* the time, but a PDA only *some* of the time (certianly not out on the lash or clubbing, or mountain biking, etc.). Personally, I think the modular approach utlising Bluetooth is the way ahead and we will see less an less of the current 'smartphones' and communicators.

RE: Why not GPRS Compact Flash?
well, the main reason that there isn't a dprs comactflash for palm is that the vast majority of palms (Palm, Sony, Handsrping) don't have compactflash. The only one that i'm aware has a compactflash is Handera, and that is long gone. Formats like SD/MMC and Sony's memstick are more difficult to produce a gprs card for simply because they're smaller. Plus, would u really want a gprs card for ur sd/mmc if your battery life went down to two hours?

bt phone + bt palm/ bt computer = true
and the consumer gain is huge, bigger than the phone/pda companies gain. You get the freedom to upgrade and choose cellphone network and palm/computer and diferent times.
And keyboard and extra screen . . . .
Would be great if the treo had bt.

Too much money
I think I would rather have a Sony Ericsson T68i for half the price in CDN. Bluetooth and OSX compatiblity works better than the pc link software I have read. Handspring may not be around for too long as the Treos will not save the company. I believe there is a small market for this up here, but most people prefer a real cell phone with PDA features like calendar and address book. Just my 2 cents guys.

Has somebody seen this work on the Palm? shoppingpda.com doesn't mention PalmOS software, though.
