Can you add WIFI or GPS to a PDA? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I'd like to buy a telus PDA with one of their promotion plans. Trouble is, I can't find one with both GPS and WIFI. Does anyone know if it's possible to add WIFI and/or GPS to a PDA via the SD slot or by some other way?

Any suggestions? I really don't need the data plan if I can somehow get WiFi. My work and home both have wireless connections.

Thanks in advance.

You can get a Palm wifi card that fits in the SD slot. They seem to work very well. A colleague uses this to get online at home and at work. If the PDA has bluetooth you can probably get a bluetooth GPS puck. I have one from TomTom that I use with my Nokia. I think Palm also has a GPS that fits in the SD slot.
