You know what I think? palmOne didn't implement WiFi on purpose - to not canibalize its Treo-line plus to have an additional selling point for its pathetic external WiFi card.

Remember my words: the future belongs to PPC.
I think they did not want to directly compete against their own Tungsten C which is really no slouch for power. If they had added WiFi to the T5 they would have had to go over their US$399 price point, or be forced to lower the T|C price.
