We asked wireless service provider Omnisky to give us an update on their plans to offer a modem for the new Palm m500 and m505 PDAs. Here is their response:
The types of mobile devices OmniSky will support depends on two factors: ability to offer a compelling user experience and critical mass among our customer target who are mobile professionals. The Palm m500 line is strongly positioned in the handheld device market based its innovative features, such as the universal connector and SD/MMC slot. We expect to support the Palm m500 line, but to ensure the best possible user experience for Palm users we are undertaking extensive quality assurance testing on the combined solution. We will keep you updated on our progress and alert you when we make an announcement.
