Wifi Card...Anyone try it?

[Shardak]

The specs listed on the mfg site list 20mm as the length. My Transcend 4GB microSD card is 11mm long....maybe we can push it in real hard.

Benefit of wifi card...FREE INTERNET and email..especially if you live near a free wifi hotspot. You can minimize your wireless phone company data plan (most wont let you eliminate it completely with a smartphone/pda, but you can minimize it to a few MB/month, and hence pay a cheaper monthly price), and that can save you as much as $40.00 us dollars /month

apparently u can connect it to almost any video source, which sounds terrific

I picked one of these up off ebay used a few months ago just to see how it worked. I tried it on a PPC6700 and it worked well once I figured it out. The key software is a 3rd party virtual screen driver that sets the PPC's screen resolution to a scrollable 1024x768 or what ever you have the external display set at. Quite cool. You can even use the scrolling display driver stand alone without the adapter to view big things on your PDA like remote desktops.

The only drawback to this device is that anything that writes directly to the screen, i.e. VIDEO playback, can not be redirected. So, while you can do slide shows or surf the net on a TV or LCD, you can't watch a movie. if it had been able to do that, it would have been truly awsome. Still, coupled with a bluetooth keyboard, you can have a portable e-mail or slideshow device. Ultimately, I decided to just get a UMPC (Sony VAIO UX-280P) to carry around when I need more. So the SDV-842 just sits in a drawer unused.

as far as i know the pre-order has been there for a long time now.... and all it does is add your email address to a list for product notification.


could be wrong though
