WiFi for T|E, Must Be a miss print

[Camski]

Was just looking for a non-wireless keyboard when i came across this, http://store.palmone.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1871568&cp=1179767.1401848&parentPage=family

It's some sort of a portfolio that is supposed to give the T|E or Zire 72 WiFi.

I think it's a miss print as it should be Zire 72 and T|T3.

Can someone confirm whether this is real or not???

-EDIT- Looks real, because they mention MINI USB connector which i dont think the T|T3 has

It's real. the Enfora will work with any Palm with the mini USB connector. It's able to work because it has it's own radio and battery and sends the data to the mini USB connector in the same way you would use a conventional modem. The downside is that it's pretty bulky, expensive, and you have to use the Enfora case. You also have two batteries to be kept charged although the Enfora battery is pretty good and you can even use it to charge the Palm if it's not being used for wifi. All the performance reports I've read so far say it's a little slower than the Palm SD wifi card but the performance is acceptable.

The problem I have with the Enfora/T|E combination is the size and price point. I've seen one of these in person and it's really thick, to the point it won't fit comfortably in a pocket. The price point is $200 of the T|E and $150 for the Enfora so you're going to pay about $350 total. Compare this to the Dell Axim X30 at http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/rsf_aximx30med_2?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs . It's listed at $388 with a free extra battery and 128 mb SD card but goes on sale periodically for as low as $318. The X30 has both bluetooth and wifi built-in. The downside is that it's a PPC but, if wireless access is an important consideration, the PPC platform is increasingly taking the lead in that field.
