Any idea (besides more data revenue for the carrier) why they would disable WIFI support via SDIO? ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜ก

... also, browsing the Palm site, I saw no mention of a voice-activated dialing program pre-installed. Know anything about this? I can't stand manufacturers shipping $500-$700 devices w/o something as HUGE as this. Thanks

"While the SD slot does support SDIO accessories, Wi-Fi via a SD card is still not supported. This appears to be a limitation of Garnet, though one can hope for an unsupported, unofficial work-around someday. Palm claims you won't have a need for Wi-Fi if you have an always on EVDO data plan. So we are likely stuck with Wi-Fi expansion sleds http://software.palminfocenter.com/homeAccess ories.asp?hCategory=1019 for the time being."

That is the opinion of a review editor from PIC (palminfocenter.com).

Not sure what point you're trying to make ๐Ÿคจ , but this does not answer my question as to why they do not impliment the ability for SDIO to facilitate a WIFI sled.

I already know that the phone does not support the ability. I want to know why... (besides driving up data revenue).

As for the comments in your post, I completely disagree w/ the statement "Palm claims you won't have a need for Wi-Fi if you have an always on EVDO data plan". There is a country outside of the major metro areas, it is just commonly overlooked. EVDO has yet to launch in our area. ๐Ÿ˜ข
