    Wireless SD card

    Okay, geting a HP Ipaq 1940 and need wireless access, so I'm going to have to fork out for a wireless SD card.

    Has anyone got one of these? What's with the prices?

    Cheapest I can find is a SanDisk one at Ebuyer for £66. Any suggestions for cheap places? Was looking at importing one from the US but they're still £45 so it's not worth the hassle.

    Fortunally enough my iPAQ has built in wifi. And I must say a memory card to extend it's 128MB was nice to have (640MB in total now)

    Is there any wifi SD-cards with memory in them aswell? If there is, I'd recommend you to get one of those instead... I know atleast I would have some problems with only that memory... and swapping cards isn't too fun I'd say.
    Light travels faster than sound. Is this why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?

    Just make sure your PDA supports SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) rather than just a standard SD memory card.

    now that's the weird thing, apparently my Medion MPPC250 isn't SDIO, yet the wifi card works anyway..
