New Palm Wi-Fi Model?. A WiFi Palm?. Some more speculation that Palm will introduce a version of its Tungsten W handheld that has built-in WiFi instead of a GSM/GPRS cellphone. [Gizmodo] Recently, rumors and speculation have been rampant about the Palm Solution Group's plans to release new handhelds. The hardware part of Palm Inc. had been expected to announce new models earlier this month, in time for the giant CeBIT tradeshow, but clearly this didn't happen. Yesterday, a company executive said that the Palm SG will announce at least one new model in the next few months. In a conference call yesterday, Judy Bruner, Palm's CFO, said, "We are planning a Spring product launch. Remember we launch products in the Fall and the Spring, but the launch will be in the second half of the quarter." Palm's current financial quarter starter March 1 and ends May 31, so new products can be expected between April 15 and the end of May. Ms. Bruner made this comment while discussing when new revenue might start coming in so, of course, she said nothing about the nature of this handheld. 6:27:43 AM

Palms and doctors. US Testing Bioterror Alerts on PDAs [Palminfocenter] The US Government is testing a system to notify doctors and healthcare providers utilizing PDAs for transmitting urgent information about biological agents. The three-month pilot test is designed to gauge the best ways for federal officials to communicate with front-line clinicians in the event of a bioterrorist attack. The project will evaluate the use of a system created by ePocrates, the nation's largest physicians' handheld network, for sending an urgent "Doc Alert" message to more than 700,000 front-line clinicians, including more than 250,000 physicians?more than 40 percent of the practicing physicians in the United States. The test message will contain a special memo on the highest threat (category A) biological diseases/agents, which include anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia and viral hemorrhagic fevers, including Ebola. The message will also include Web links for clinicians to go to for additional information about diagnosing and treating the conditions caused by the biological agents. Clinicians will be able to save this information to their PDAs for future reference. The pilot project will be managed by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and is designed to complement the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's existing Health Alert Network, which was created in 1998 and is used by the Department to communicate directly with more than 25,000 public health officials in the 50 states, eight U.S. territories and seven large cities. 6:27:40 AM
