5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to get the most out of your PDA, April 30, 2004

By	"sd_technophile" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I debated long and hard about buying a PDA with integrated WiFi and this SD card was my compromise. It's definitely nicer on the budget than splurging for integration. And it's alot less inconvenient then I thought it would be. I've found the card easy to install and it never drops my connection. You just pop it in the memory slot and it does its thing. Even when I'm walking from hotspot to hotspot, I don't have to pay attention to it at all.

Ok here are the caveats. 1) It's a little slow loading webpages, but that could be due to my pda hardware or the network at my school which I found to be slow using the wifi on my laptop. 2) I once had a problem that it suddenly wasn't recognizing the networks. However I reinstalled the driver and it worked perfectly. 3) Sandisk doesn't yet have a driver for Palm OS, a problem that my Palm friends complain about relentlessly. But it serves them right for choosing Palm, right?

Nevertheless, I give this card a 5 star rating because the flaws are rather minor and in the ever-important areas of cost and convenience, it surpassed all my expectations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hold it Now!!!!, August 9, 2004

By	WiFight with it? "WiFight with it?" (New York,NY USA) - See all my reviews

The SanDisk WiFi card installation was easy to understand however only gave details of how to install the card if you don't run into any problems. I have an Ipaq 3955 and I installed the drivers and software to find that the card couldn't be detected. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice before search the internet for a fix. I updated my ROM on my device. Reinstalled my software and all of my personal data which had to be backed up before being erased to update ROM. After all that it still didn't work. Finally, on a fluke I find out that I have to hold the card in because it doesn't sit in the port correctly. After doing that too much I'll be working on a sure case of carpel tunnel syndrome. The browser works perfectly but, at what cost? Tech support wouldn't admit that others had the problem but I found at least 3 of the same complaints online. TS on recommendation is to return it and get another Sandisk. Maybe I'll return it and get another
WiFi card all together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Wifi Solution for your PDA, December 6, 2003

By	"sohokuma" (CA United States) - See all my reviews

I have this on my ipaq 1935, unlike the other reviews i do not notice any "looseness" in the fit of the card in my SDIO slot, I rarely have any disconnects, and overall this has been a great solution for a mobile computing platform. Although being small it boasts great power and coverage, and has been absolutely reliable. I have noticed a small amount of battery drainage, but nothing overwhelming. I would reccomend this product to anyone looking to get their SDIO enabled pda online.
