John, Yes, I'd like to add USB Wireless support, the only problem is I don't have a USB wireless adapter. I don't think it would be all that hard, just a matter of going through the motions.
As for your comment about Palm cradles, I assume that is a different topic ? We do currenly support USB printers, mice and keyboards.
