Wireless Service Changes
Posted by tim_palmzone on Sun, Dec 09, 2001 (1115 reads)
There is major news in the wireless world. This past week OmniSky was bought out by Earthlink. At the same time the Yada Yada service shut down as they went out of business. This leaves GoAmerica as the only small player left. However, the major carriers are starting to offer similar service for PDA users. Let's all hope the prices go down so everyone can afford it.

Bridge for Palm m500-Series to Use V and III Series Accessories
Posted by tim_palmzone on Mon, Dec 03, 2001 (1205 reads)
Midwest PCB Designs is at it again, releasing a new bridge connector that lets you use your m505, m500, m125 Universal Connector device with old Palm V or even Palm III accessories. I'm toying with getting one of these as I have a landline modem, wireless modem, travel kit and cradle all for the Palm V but I recently purchased an m505!
Update: The word on the street is that there are some issues with the current design not passing through sufficient voltage to use the charge cradles. They are working on a way to resolve this. I'd suggest holding off on buying these until then.
