Treo 660 rumors and WiFi

From Gizmodo... nothing more than speculation on their part, but the whole 'losing the antenna' thing seems like the most reasonable thing to do. And OOOOHHHH! Yay!!! Is WiFi for the Treo on the horizon? I found out recently (because no one ever bothered to write in their articles before) that the reason that there were no WiFi options on SD for the Palm was a lack of power, and not issues with designing the software drivers as I had jumped to conclusions about. The lack of Wifi was one of the reasons I was on the fence about choosing between the Sony Clie and the Treo. Eventually, my final rationale was that while there was the outside possibility of them getting their arses in gear and making WiFi work for the Treo, there was only a very minute chance of them creating a cell phone add-on for the Clie. SanDisk expects to release their 256M SD card optimized for low power draw Wifi for about $130, but there's still no mention of the Palm OS in the press release.
