YadaYada includes a Color App Launcher, but more importantly they include the Minstrel FileMover application. This app provides access to the additional 1 meg of flash RAM in the Minstrel Modem. I don't know why OmniSky didn't include this support. It's unrelated to Wireless Internet Service, but it's a nice add-on for the power user. Kudos to YadaYada for this additional support.

Both services let you use any TCP/IP Palm App out there, like Blazer, AvantGo, AOL Instant Messenger

Value for Dollar

Both services are basically $40 a month for unlimited usage. OmniSky adds a $400 unlimited yearly plan that save you $80 if you're phat enough to drop the money up front. That's a nice option for those who can do it.

Until 1/31/01 OmniSky will give you the Minstrel Modem for $99 if you sign up for 6 months. After that, you'll need to sign up for a year. YadaYada charges you $299. Both services will let you jump ship to the other (if you have completed your contract, or are paying month-to-month without a contract).
