Bluetooth Memory Stick for $154

[rob_squared]

I don't know if its a great price or anything, but expansys has bluetooth memory sticks for sale and can be bought in the US.

I belive that now the packages come in English considering that the BT MS is being sold in England as well. I already picked mine up.

Originally they sell it for $230. This is a very good price indeed.
However some body can bid it from ebay at $128 before.

Good luck.

$230?!

Wow, I'm glad I waited. I tried ebay but at the time the cheapest was $140 and it still had 6 days left.

Does Bluetooth accomplish the same things as wifi does? Or are they totally seperate solutions for different problems...

Pros and cons..

WiFi support up to 11MBps but BT just up to 7xxKBps.
WiFi is very power consuming while BT is comparative not.
WiFi need to find an Access Point to make the connection while BT you can connect everywhere where you have a BT phone/GPRS support.

For Palm applications, BT 7xxKBps is acceptable to browse for stock quote, airline status, email. Internet surfing is still limited and the cost will be very high.

WiFi is good for surfing at home if you have an WiFi AP, however normally you will surf thru your desktop.

If you are on the road with your palm and you need to get some location information or product quotes, BT + Phone is still a solution.

To have the Star Buck solution, you need to subscribe an account from T-mobile, which almost similar to a Cable/DSL line.

just 2 cents.

That seems about right, I have an NR so the WiFi solution wasn't really a consideration. :)

And Eudora Web removes all pictures, making browsing much faster.

Sounds great to me, but I'm still trying to figure out why I would surf the net over my clie vice my desk/laptop. And, as far as I know I don't have any "reliable" WiFi or bluetooth access points although I wish some would put some investment into a larger area network.

Expansys seems quite expensive compared to other online dealers - I'm just looking at PDA and MS prices - ....
