Okay, obviously I haven't touched this thing in months, for reasons too boring to go into. But now that PalmOne has officially announced the Tungsten T5 (I was briefed on it several weeks ago), I must vent: WHY NO WI-FI?!?!?! The T5 looks to be the killer PDA, with all sorts of cool memory features, the perfect form factor, a big screen, and a fair price. But why Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi?!? It has, yawn, Bluetooth instead. I'll wager good money that 9 out of 10 people have never heard of Bluetooth, and that 999 out of 1,000 of those who have never use it.

Lots of the latest Pocket PCs have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi--PalmOne made a critical mistake in not offering the same in the T5. They're going to get lambasted by the media and user community alike. WHY, PalmOne, WHY?!?!?!
