Product Description

Product Description
SanDisk 256 megabyte (MB) + Wi-Fi SD Combination card is the world's first card to include both memory and WLAN (802.11b) communications in a single SD card. The card is compatible with handheld devices that feature an SDIO-enabled slot and use Microsoft Pocket PC 2002, Pocket PC 2003 or Windows Mobile 2003 operating environments.The low-power device is designed to minimize battery drain, a key consideration for handheld computer users. In addition, combining flash memory and Wi-Fi in one card also represents a cost savings to consumers because if the cards were bought separately they would cost considerably more.

5.0 out of 5 stars great hardware, August 7, 2004

By	L. Dalia (israel) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the previous card without the 256 mb memory . This card works very good.
Installation - with no problem and with zero config as promised by the wifi founders.
Range - I had it working in 120 ft !! amazing !
One can download file into the memory while the trans/recv is working - something I thought was impossible .
the stream works very fast and the pages are downloading as fast as the device can open them . i use hp 1930.
Very good work from the sandisk boys

2.0 out of 5 stars Sandisk has discontinued these cards and are not replacing them under warranty, July 8, 2005

By	B. Cameron - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own this card and recently started having problems. When I called Sandisk and they have no stock to replace these cards. I am pretty ticked off at Sandisk. They should be able to replace this card under the three year warranty. They want me to return it and they will replace it with a 1 GB memory card, which is worthless as I really need the wifi portion, not the memory.
Buyer beware.

Note added 3/21/06...I have to give credit to Sandisk, after repeatedly calling (for six months) and escalating the problem, I did get a replacement. THANK YOU SANDISK! It was not the way it should have been in warranty position (6 months into a 3 year warranty). It was very much a hassle, but eventually worked out. Should hold me over until I purchase a new PDA with wireless built in. This is an excellent idea of combination unit, hope someone else picks up the idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars DOES work with Audiovox 6600, February 27, 2005

By	Cy Gone (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

contrary to a previous reviewers claim that it doesn't work, it does in fact work with audiovox 6600. i did upgrade the rom, first, too the latest and greatest by going to the audiovox websites downloads. they call it a software upgrade. just be sure to follow instructions to the letter. once done, simply install the driver that comes with the sandisk product. patiently and strictly follow the instructions again. you may need to type in a security key for the device. if the screen for the key disappears, tap on the icon near the top of the screen to bring up the screen again. in any case, it does work with the audiovox 6600. write me at [e-mail] if you have any problems. a lot of people have problems getting this technology to work but patience and following instructions to the letter works every time. this combo card is great in that it extends the utility of this fine pda/cell with not only wi-fi but also more storage space. finally, if the install window seems to disappear, just tap the icon on top of screen by the tele icon. often times though, i suspect the problem is the card is simply wating for a network key. usually one of these two things are your problem.
