Enfora (http://enfora.com) sells wireless portfolios for Palm PDAs (https://www.enfora.com/shop/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=3). 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 (http://www.brighthand.com/article/Palm_Store_Now_Offering_Enfora_Wi-Fi_Case) and a review at Daily Gadget (http://www.dailygadget.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2418). 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

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 (https://www.enfora.com/shop/detail.aspx?ID=34), 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?
