More wireless news
Thanks to Michael Pinney for pointing me to this article on ZDNet that has a few new details on Palm's wireless plans. It mentions that Palm has plans to add wireless voice services and that Bluetooth won't be integrated into Palm devices until 2002 or 2003 because radios for the technology are too expensive. They also detail that OmniSky will formally launch their wireless service on Monday. They also claim that the current OmniSky modem has voice support already. I find that a little hard to believe and I'll have check up on it and get back with an update. UPDATE 5/1: I spoke with a rep at Novatell Wireless and She confirmed that the Minstrel V does not support voice functions. The ZDNet author may have misquoted Mr. Yankowski.

2002? 2003??
Look how far things have come in the PDA market since 1998. Bluetooth may not be EVERYWHERE by 2002, but to say it won't happen until then? Bah.
