Are there wireless clip-on attachments for Five series Palms?
Three GSM ‘sled’ modems also provide cel service outside of North America; one’s headed to the US from OhFish: · Ubinetics 900/1800mHz GSM Palm fon · RealVision 900/1800mHz CarpeDiem V · OhFish … tri-band GSM/GPRS M3 and 900/1800mHzGSM V51 Two other sleds provide Seven-like data-only service; one’s headed for the US: · DotWAP’s NE01 · Wavenet’s Dualwave … AKA the Motient Mobile Modem. The sleds use another wireless data system called Motient (AKA DataTAC), which, like Mobitex, also evolved from a paging service. Blackberries in the 800 series use 19.2 kbps Motient/DataTAC; the 900 series Blackberries use 8 kbps Cingular/Mobitex (just like Sevens) and the new Enterprise edition will use GPRS. The $249 Motient Mobile Modem sled for the Five with $50/mo. service is now available for US sale; it’s been sold in Australia. It’s supposed to offer the ‘always-on’ pagability of the Blackberries which was a major selling point of the (postponed) Palm i715.
