PalmOne To Turn Off Wireless Service

PalmOne will shut down operation of its wireless service, Palm.Net, by the end of the month.

The Milpitas, Calif.-based handheld maker posted a statement on its Web site at the end of July to say features such as Palm.Net e-mail and the MyPalm mobile portal and “Web clipping” service won’t be available after Aug. 31. There has been a gradual decline in the number of users of the Palm.Net service over the last couple years, and the current total is about 42,000, said David Westendorf, senior director and general manager of Palm.Net.
