SDIO Wifi drivers for Treo 650!

Finally, someone has worked out how to get an SDIO Wifi card to work with the Treo. Shadowmite at TreoCentral posted this evening that he was successfully connecting to his wireless network from his Treo 650. Not quite ready for corporate use, but now that the driver has gotten to this stage the rest of the work should be relatively easy.

This will be excellent for those of us who use the Treo for email, reading blogs, and streaming audio. We're still waiting for the Treo 650 to be available from our wireless provider at InfoWorld, but this is yet another reason (along with Bluetooth support) to upgrade from the 600's.

No word yet as to when this will be working on the 600, but the author posted that he thinks he will be able to do it on that model as well.

New Skype for OS X

A new beta of Skype for OS X was released today. Version 0.12.0.8 finally supports audio preferences, so you can have Skype use your headset or handset, while all the rest of your audio uses the normal Audio Preferences setting. This was one of the big issues in previous versions, and will make using Skype a much nicer experience on the Mac. If you have Skype and want to give me a ring, my contact name is KevinRailsback. Get the new release here.
