Don't think so yet.

The Palm BT SD card IIRC only supports up to Palm OS 4.

If the Tungsen C have a SD expansion slot, and I think so, then it can use one of the SD bluetooth cards available. Palm sells one for a lot of bucks, but it works.

Yeppers, the Tungsten|C *does* have an SD expansion slot, so I see no reason why the SD Bluetooth adapters wouldn't work on it. You can get it from Palm's Website for $129 or get it here for only $88.

However, even at Palm.com, it doesn't list the Tungsten|C on the list of compatible Palm's, so you may wanna call their support line before ordering, and evenso, does the Mac Palm Desktop software have the ability to sync via Bluetooth? It can't even sync via the WiFi on the Mac, yet it can on my PC...weird how the Mac version of the software got shortcut.

As an owner of a Tungsten|T, I can attest that it does hot sync via the cradle AND via bluetooth.
