OmniSky wireless official launch
OmniSky has officially launched their wireless internet service for Palm V/Vx handhelds today. This concludes a 4 month public beta trial. Significant changes and enhancements have been made to the service based on user feedback. You can preorder the modem for $299 and unlimited access is $39.99/month. I will be working on a full review of the new features until then you can check out our review of the beta. Yesterday OmniSky announced a $75 million strategic funding round and a joint venture with News Corporation to explore global expansion of the OmniSky wireless service. They also have a clever TV commercial you can check out on their website.

$40 bucks a month?....Ouch!

This would make it the ultimate wireless email device (I use mine to write email in a coffee shop all the time). I checked the web site but it doesn't indicate, so I suspect not.

still too expensive
for unlimited access. AT&T offers unlimited access for
$25 although you will have to pay a bit more for the
Minstrel wireless modem.
