You might want to wait for the new version of iSync to come out (1.1) rumor has it it's going to be released end of may.

I remember reading that Palm didn't support sync via network (e.g. Ethernet), as opposed to locally, on the Mac. Network sync is what you'd need to sync via AirPort/WiFi/802.11b. But who knows, maybe iSync 1.1 will magically solve this. Hurry up Apple!

Until we get a 3 lbs sub-PowerBook, the 12-inch PowerBook will do.

The Tungsten T has bluetooth, which can be used for syncing.
The new Tungsten C has no bluetooth, but has 802.11 (same as Airport) for wireless internet access and such. Currently, there is no way to sync a Palm and a Mac via 802.11.

Yep, I'm using a Tungsten|C with my 17" PowerBook & AirPort Extreme Base Station, and the current version of the Mac Palm Desktop software doesn't give the option to sync the Palm w/ the Mac wirelessly, however, it'll sync wirelessly w/ my PC that's on my AirPort Extreme Network flawlessly and it's extremely fast. I'm hoping when the new iSync is released it'll add the ability to sync wirelessly w/ the Mac.

And also, the Tungsten|C does *NOT* have Bluetooth built-in, as it would be kind of silly to be able to sync w/ Bluetooth and WiFi (when it's possible on the Mac, already is on PC), and the SD Bluetooth card sold by Palm isn't yet compatible w/ OS 5.2, but it may be in the future.
