Palm Bluetooth Card announced

Professionals on-the-go may experience the power of wireless Bluetooth technology to communicate, collaborate, and connect simply by using a small SD Card with their Palm handheld computers. Once the software is loaded and the card (slightly larger than a postage stamp) is inserted, an application walks users though a process to find and connect with Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, printers, laptops, and other Palm handhelds within 10 meters, or about 30 feet, or connect to Bluetooth LAN access points within 100 meters, or about 300 feet. <A HREF="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/micro_stories.pl?ACCT=153400&TICK=PALM&STORY=/www/story/03-19-2002/0001689427&EDATE=Mar+19,+2002">Palm, Inc.</A> announced the U.S. availability of the Palm Bluetooth Card, which slides into the Palm Expansion Card Slot featured in the latest Palm handhelds. The Palm Bluetooth Card can now be purchased in the United States online at The Palm Store and at retailers worldwide for an estimated U.S. street price of $129.
