Wifi card tungsten t5

Intentionally omit or "cripple" features at the lower end of your lineup in order to push buyers to the next model higher up. If it's simply a driver issue--well then, do you expect any different from P1?

Now the lack of OS5 drivers for their old Bluetooth card, that's entirely P1's fault. They just want to push the remaining m5xx users to a newer BT model such as the Z72 or T5. Pat Horne; www. But no matter what Palm has the edge especiallt in terms of User Friendly.

I think that is the most important here. Nobody put a gun to your head. I thnk it's very much on topic that Palm has such an inferior solution.

Seen the new HP's announced today? Some advice? I replaced it - to an extent - with a Palm Tungsten E. I received some great advice with regard to applications and wireless keyboards, but now I'm looking to upgrade.

The lack of wireless connectivity is something I really miss. I'm considering the Tungsten T5 and a wireless card, but have read mixed reviews. Would I be better off shopping for a used Sony UX 50? Some other model? I've heard that there are syncing options available for Windows CE devices, but the thought of it runs against my brushed metal grain.

Are there Linux models I might consider? My goal is to invest in a device that allows me to take notes and keep organized as I do now, but also to connect to wireless networks and perhaps sync with my computer via Bluetooth.

Has anyone had a chance to test this out on a palmOne Tungsten T5 yet??? How is the Wi-Fi range, especially compared to a TC?

The T5 doesn't have Wi-Fi. I set it up on my demo T5 and it didn't seeem to impact the battery to much though I only had it on for about an hour. So if we already have a T3 with a WiFi card working, are there any improvements with this updated driver? Good question. But I doubt if palmOne has done the obvious yet : T3 user. Nope, doesn't do that. Well I haven't had WiFi on my T3 long enough to probably notice any subtle benefits from the updated driver. Please compare apple with apple.

Tungsten T5 size: 4. Built-in WiFi, higher resolution screen. I'd have to agree with fly on this one. One thing I might add though. Just to be contrarian.. Oh nooo, not again This post is about the Wifi drivers. Let it go and move on. Hopefully to PPC sites. Just go away Can't wait for the next version of ShadowPlan handheld. What he said. The Palm apologists are having to really stretch on this one That 1.

Did I whine? By the way, I still think that PalmOne has the best smartphone line in the Treo series. Palm is not about Geeks. Powered by Palm OS since March The article says that the installer takes up that much space. I don't have the wifi card so I can't test myself to see how much actual space the driver takes.

Unless I am missing something it is about k. The vast majority of Zire users any model Zire have no desire or even knowledge of things like wi-fi on a handheld.

I have to agree that palmOne should start having some of their SDIOs made by themselves support the lower-end models such as the Zire Then don't read the comments. P1ss off back to PPC land you moronic troll! There's plenty of fun to be had with the T5 as well. And why not take advantage of the T5's vast storage space to carry some of your favorite photos with you?

The PalmOne Media application even lets you organize photos into a digital album for extra personalization. In terms of wireless connectivity, the T5 offers Bluetooth and an infrared port, but to our disappointment, there is no integrated Wi-Fi.

The one saving grace is that PalmOne says it will update the driver on its Wi-Fi card to support the T5. We did, however, use the included Bluetooth utility to pair up the T5 with a Bluetooth-enabled Pocket PC and were able to seamlessly beam data between the two devices.

The T5 runs Palm OS 5. The customizable Favorite screen lets you quickly access your most important or frequently used applications, while the File view opens the doors to all the files and folders on your internal flash drive. Bundled software includes VersaMail 2. Aside from the multimedia kicks, you have Handmark Solitaire and PalmReader to entertain you during your downtime.

Battery life was impressive. In CNET Labs' tests , we looped a video clip with screen brightness set at 50 percent, and the T5 hung on for 5 hours, 10 minutes, a good 2 hours longer than the T3.

Playing a repeated MP3 file, the device lasted for 6 hours. Since our drain tests are designed to zap battery power as quickly as possible, you'll get more mileage out of the PDA with normal use. Could it be that they have woken up to how few real improvements there are in this release? Time will tell. RE: Microsoft is clawing back Its execution will have to be perfect however, else it will just be another Ipod wannabe. Re Compact copying PalmPilot. I don't recall seeing colour screens on Palm at the same time.

Nor did I see any Palm's playing music or video. Your view of history is revisionist to the extreme. Surur RE: Microsoft is clawing back I had the X50v and sold it on e-bay yesterday. There isn't a lot of enthusiasm for WM05 for the very reasons listed above; it's just a minor tweak, and not really revolutionary. I've ended up back with my old, and reliable m Surfing the net while lying in bed using bluetooth 2. Wireless connection using wifi at work 3.

Catching up on films while travelling on train to work 4. On top of that PPC has better games; better files management and better pricing and it's better built I like messing around with PDAs but Palm has been very boring with the lack of any innovation what so ever Yes, I LOVED having the X50v, and the 'wow' factor it produced when other saw it, but my more 'what's practical for me' side took over and I just felt it was more than I really needed. Glad you like your Axim.

You have gotta be joking right? We have had the same functionality that that unit will provide for several years. Nice to see PalmOne introduce their 2nd handheld with wifi finally, 3 years too late. As far as WM 5. Especially since Dell and HP will be providing an upgrade for existing models. Whether WM 5. I find it interesting and dissapointing that palm infocenter did not even bother posting a news story about the announcemnet of windows mobile 5. PPC sites always post news stories about developments in the Palm community.

Oh well Persistant storage, for one thing, including real RAM for running programs, as well as Direct3D Mobile and improved office apps. Definitely clearing out stock on this retail failure But I digress Still nothing in the T5 that would actually encourage me blow the money they want for it. Now if there was a E3 -. And priced between the E2 and the Zire 72s, then you'll have me trading in my E Not very bright - but then, that's not been Pa1mOne's forte of late, anyway.
