Enfora revealed at CeBIT that the company is planning to release its WiFi-Sled WLN1501 for PalmOne's Treo 6xx series to the market by the end of April/beginning of May (previously target date was February). The sled, which also includes WLAN drivers for the Treo, will be available for around USD $150.

From the official description:

Quote:

The Enfora Wi-Fi Sled for the Treo 600 allows Treo 600 Smartphone users to access Wi-Fi hotspots to surf the Internet and send and receive email at highspeed over wireless LANs. The Enfora Wi-Fi Sled for the Treo 600 includes 40/64-bit/128-bit WEP Encryption and an internal long life battery which provides 5 day standby and 24 hr typical data use and does not draw power from the Treo Smartphone. It ships with a 5 volt power supply and the Enfora Wi-Fi management/setup CD which includes Eudora Web Browser and a 30 day trial of Bachmann Mobility Suite. When the Sled is attached to the Treo the power supply will charge both devices simultaniously.

I wonder if one could use the Wi-Fi to make VOIP calls, and the BT to connect to the wireless headset...

Almost makes it seem like a reasonable purchase. I've been conflicted about the Treo, because convergence devices make no sense to me (screen too small, battery life,...) but I do like that the phone has the keyboard and runs Palm OS. If I had a ton of money, I might keep my Zodiac2 as the PDA and use the Treo 650 as the phone with the Wi-Fi sled for the connectivity. (Maybe even truly geek out and BT the two to share the Wi-Fi connection to the Zodiac2?)

Or I just come back to Earth.
