After more than five years of existence, Palm.Net is ceasing operations. The service will close and no longer be available after August 31, 2004. A Q&A is posted on the palmOne web site (http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External20 01,case=obj(10646)) to help address questions customers may have.
That means all wireless handheld functionality that utilizes the Palm.Net network will not be available after August 31, 2004. Of course owners can continue to use VII, VIIx and i705 devices in non-wireless mode and take advantage of all the great features Palm handhelds offer. Unfortunately, the handheld’s wireless capability is only compatible with the Palm.Net network and can't be transferred to another network.
