Anyone know of any new Palm release/development to replace the TX The TX is almost 1 1/2 years old. I'd like it to have at least 802.11G as some places are not using 802.11B any longer. Does anyone know if plam will be introducing a replacement or alternative soon? Thanks and much appreciated.

I don't think it's a sure thing they won't release any more handhelds, but I wouldn't count on anything new anytime soon.The TX is a solid unit though.
1030647
Exactly. You can buy a laptop at BestBuy for $450 that runs WinVista Premium and comes with 1GB RAM and a 2.2GHz single core processor. Why buy the Foleo? The Foleo will go down in history as one of the worst product decisions in history.

Yeah, I hate that too. I've heard that on every single Palm transflective screen I've ever used. It's especially obvious to me if I tilt my head to the side.

I think that is really unfortunate. The smartphones look good, but I think they are too big to be good cell phones and too small to be a good PDA. As far as I can determine, they do not have a graffiti type of entry only the tiny keyboard. I also don't like having everything on one device. I currently own a Palm m515, which has been absolutely great, but would like to upgrade to the T/X for the WIFI capability. Right now, I just can't justify the cost. My concern is that if Palm discontinues PDAs (again a big mistake in my estimation) they will withdraw support from the PDA market.
1030650
I'm not totally convinced though. It shouldn't be a big deal to do a slight update every once in a while, even if it's only every few years (and maybe only bug fixes, or whatever).I am really disgusted by the state of the PDA market though. If things had been progressing the way they were, we'd all have 1Ghz+ devices running full blown preemptive multitasking/protective memory OSs, that can juggle media, documents, etc. around with ease. And instead I'm desperately wishing I could still buy a Sony PDA from three years ago :-(
1030651
Yeah.. the PDA market has hit the skids. I would love to see a TX2 with a faster processer and 1 GB or more of memory. There has not been any real innovation in PDAs over the past few years.
1030652
Actually... the head of Palm, Jeff Hawkins, has said that the PDA market has matured and Palm is not going to devote any more resources to the PDA. They are going to sell their existing lines until it is no longer financially beneficial to do so. All of the resources are going to the smartphone line.Companies sometimes can do a 180... but I'd say there is a higher chance of Israel and Iran becoming allies than a new PDA from Palm.
1030653
i'm interested in knowing more info myself. if not a new model, then at least an update of some sort would be nice.
1030654
Even if places are using 802.11G a 802.11B device will still connect... just not at the speed a G device would.Palm is not releasing any new PDAs. The T/X was their last one. They are releasing smartphones (Treo) and their new mobile companion (stripped down laptop).

There is a fix online for this problem. I downloaded it and installed it today. It's listed under the 8500 firmware solutions. Just don't make the mistake of deciding to upgrade to the next release. I did and now I can't get it to install -- Fatal error. So I have no HP Solutions, and I can't scan anything. I dread the thought of calling for help tomorrow and try to get a resolve...

I believe she is talking about upgrading the software to android (which now that hp has released an update to, some people don't find it to be an upgrade at all). She could also be talking about several software modifications that can speed up the touchpad.

****Update 3/18/2011*****Changed the settings as Tony suggested, and everything seems to be working fine now. Have not had to reset, and signal strength has improved. Will update again in the next few days. Thanks Tony!!******************************************************************************************************Nope, it's not just you. I have the same problems, and I'm going to try tony's config fixes to see if I can get mine to work any better.

Agreed! This is the last straw for me. I've returned it already. Have NEVER been able to surf the net. Configuration problems are a nightmare. Technical support is like dealing with the clincally braindead. Well, that's what you get for Chinese made products. And can you believe, HP has stated that "it's a disposable device". Tell my bank account that! Back to Palm/OS!

I too had a TX-NR515 delivered last week from Amazon with this firmware version. It would not allow me to put the other version of the firmware on it via USB as it said it was up to date. I called Onkyo and they said that as long as the last 4 digits were 0400, than it is the most recent update, even if there is some difference with a 5 instead of4 in the first sequence of numbers. So far it has been working just fine... but agian, it has only been a week or so.

I haven't used this device since I switched to Windows 8 and the device didn't support that platform. I tried to contact for updates but gave up. Probably has the updates now. Thanks for reminding me. I will pull this out and see.

The Anna update did not work for me either. I bought the phone directly from Amazon who said it was directly from Nokia. I tried wifi update using Nokia Software Updater on the phone itself, then directly connected to my Mac via a USB cable, then connected to a Windows 7 computer with Nokia Suite. None identified any updates. This phone was supposed to be a Christmas present and I wanted it to have at least Anna if not Belle. Guess I'll have to spend Saturday morning on the phone with Nokia customer service.Help!

HP has ended upgrade support with 4.4.2. They did make a vague comment about they may push out a patch sometime though so if a major security exploit is discovered or whatever they may do something about it. I would not hold my breath waiting for any kitkat bugfixes or new features however, it looks like the S7 is one step from being abandoned altogether.

I found this:http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/11775-cruz-reader-only-step-by-step-for-update-root-and-setcpu/Haven't tried it on my R101 yet, but sure would like to hear from anyone who has followed these instructions with success - then give it a try myself

I purchased the DWA device months ago and have no problems with it's operation. In researching the specifications on this device there is no reference to hardware versions, only the WIFI communication with the standard protocol of IEEE 802.11a, g and n information you are likely aware. When researching "hardware version is A2?" all I find is a reference to "Bluebottle OS" as well as a reference to a compiler developed at the UNIVAC division of Remington Rand in 1953. Both references seem to be unrelated to WIFI and the operation of this device. Can you be more specific with your questions and how you are relating this to the WIFI communications between you PC and Modem?

I went through the PALM TX - VISTA problem with syncing months ago. It took tons of time with email tech support with PALM, HP, and Microsoft. It was finally HP that told me that PALM is a 32 bit system and my problem was that I had the 64 bit VISTA. They sent me the 32 bit version of VISTA (of course with no refund for the 64 bit). After that and with the PALM - Vista fix on the PALM website, everything works fine. I haven't had a need to sync any documents, so that may not work.

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.

I don't know and there isn't any technical support for Palm anymore as it was purchased by AT&T; for the phone and they dropped the Palm Pal product line.

Yea I'm wondering the same. I' d really like to get this and I need a scanner now. Maybe someone can check with fujitsu and let us all know about an update?? Then again it appears so good why change it??

Douglas, I am exactly like you. I'm still using my palm IIIx. It's somewhat crippled when I have memos that are too long in the Palm Desktop software. When I try to sync it up, then of course it truncates the entries. But I am totally with you in regards to the whole battery life thing. In my opinion, Palm, HP, and all the rest of have been producing total junk pda's that have everything in the world built into them, but for the most part, people wouldn't use. I think the whole Camera in a phone idea is the stupidest thing next to a submarine with a screen door. If I want to take a photograph, I'm not going to use a device that has a lens that is smaller than a pencil lead!!!! I will use a point & shoot digital with a lens that is AT LEAST an inch or so in diamter, or pull out my Digital SLR camera. I wish some company would produce a new Quality PDA that focuses on BATTERY LIFE and that doesn't have all of the stupid bells & whistles AND that lets the user replace the battery. In fact, I happen to like the AAA batteries. You can buy them at a gas station for cryign out loud. I have all of my information dating back to like 1995 in my palm desktop software. If I lost it, it would be like cutting off my leg. I have yet to find a PDA that I'm willing to sink money into though for the reasons I just mentioned.
