In fact, in order to wirelessly access the Internet and email accounts using Palm PDAs, other than the Palm VII model line, consumers must purchase and carry a separate wireless modem or a device to connect the Palm to certain mobile telephones; and, moreover, many mobile telephones currently in use in the U.S. are not compatible with Palm PDAs. The complaint also alleges that in representing that consumers can use Palm PDAs, as sold, to access the Internet and their email accounts wirelessly, Palm failed to disclose or failed to disclose adequately that in order to wirelessly access the Internet and their email accounts, consumers must purchase and carry a separate wireless modem or a device to connect the Palm to certain mobile telephones.“http://www.ftc.gov/os/2002/03/palmana.htm - Cached
