external Wifi for all Palms!

ignatz · 09-02-2004, 05:28 PM

Enfora sells wireless portfolios for Palm PDAs. They give wireless access to almost any Palm, including the T|E. The data goes through the sync connection, either the universal connector or the mini-USB in the case of the T|E. The wireless unit has its own rechargeable battery, so you can be wireless without sucking down your Palm's battery. I found a mention of this case at Brighthand and a review at Daily Gadget. Both of those date back to May and I have never heard of this! The price is a little steep at ~$150, but if you can't get wireless any other way, then this doesn't seem like too much to ask. I'd be curious to hear if anyone has seen/used one of these and what their impressions are.

Digging up an old thread, but wanted to reply regarding this. Check out this review from the Brighthand forums

and here's a link to search results on "Enfora"

There's lots of postings on the enfora portfolio case as well as the Sandisk Wi-Fi card. Unfortunately, the case isn't cheap.

I ended up getting the Sandisk Wi-Fi card and the Power to Go sled and still waiting for the price to drop a bit, or hope that there are other alternatives. The Enfora Quad-Band GPRS/GSM portfolio, which would make my Palm almost a smartphone isn't bad either but it's way too expensive.

Enfora don't seem to be in any hurry to embrace Palm's multi-connector, as used in the T5 and TE2. I wonder if the mini-usb version sold for the Tungsten|E would work with a hotsync cable and usb to mini-usb adapter or just by hacking the cable to replace the mini-usb plug with a multi-connector plug?
