Can anyone please tell me if this card will work with a T3?
SanDisk 256MB Wi-Fi SD I/O Wireless LAN

I like the idea of still having 256 mb of memory on the card with the WiFi.
i don't see the T3 listed but someone said if I download the WiFi drivers off of the PalmOne website it might work.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thank you

So far, the ONLY PalmOS PDA that supports it are the Tapwave Zodiacs.

Palm have locked in all their users by refusing to write a driver or give Sandisk the data they need to write one.

Ironic since the whole point of going to PalmOS-on-Linux was to make driver writing more open - How can it be successful if Palm are going to be so closed and uncooperative in the first place?!

The only way to get WiFi on a Palm is to buy their over-priced and less functional WiFi SD card, which has no FlashRAM.

Well I found on eBay one of PalmOnes WiFi cards for 70.00 NEW.

And yes I understand and feel the same way about Palms attitude on this issue.
BUT I also know that Palm is a nice little unit.

I have been now for about 1 year a owner / using a Axim x30h which isn't bad.
It has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth but it is not a Palm.
No matter how I like the wireless features I still wonder back to my little T3...

I don't know why that is.
Maybe because I have owned and have grown-up with Palms OS for many years (Since my first III).
Maybe because there are so many app offered and I cant seem to be able to find PPC ones that offer all the nice features that can be found with OS apps.

I don't really know why but now I am migrating back to my little T3 that I have had sitting on my shelf waiting for this day.
