Today, Palm is expected to

Today, Palm is expected to launch its very, very long awaited wireless i705 handheld, reports the San Jose Mercury News. Actually, it went on sale last Thursday. However, it's a somewhat limited device in that it does not do voice calls. Like the RIM Blackberry, it uses the Mobitex data network. Nor is the service cheap at $39.99 a month. Users who want a PDA with built in GSM or similar mobile phone capabilities can turn to Palm-based machines from Samsung and Kyocera, or Handspring's small, good-looking Treo, or at least two PocketPCs (Sagem and Trium both had models on sale in Europe last year).
