Hey Steve,
Great preview/review.
I know that this may be a bit much to ask, but I was wondering if you could take a comparison picture of the SD and CF WiFi Card with the protruding parts of the card lining up to each other.
This will allow us to get a better visual comparison of the protrusion length between the two cards.
For instance, from the current picture on the bottom, it looks like the SD Card and the CF Card stick out at the same length, but when you look back to the original picture, it seems like the SD Card would stick out a bit more.

If a picture is too much, maybe you can give us written figures on how long each card protrudes from the top of the Pocket PC.
Thanks.

Thanks for the write-up, Steve! I'm interested in seeing how the battery life of the SD and CF implementations compare! Any idea when you'll have that info?

I'm also curious about SocketCom's new SD WiFi card, which is also due out in early August. Are you planning to review that one soon?

Thanks for any info,

Xan

I am thinking of getting a Tungsten T2 and wondered if the same SD WiFi card could be used in both the Palm and Pocket PC? I understand the Palm drivers won't be out until something like November, but didn't know if a different card would need to be purchased. Thanks.

I am still amazed everytime I think about it. From PC, to CF, to SD. That thing is tiny. But what about speed? Is there any difference felt from say CF? Thanks.

I did not notice any difference in speed between the CF Wi-Fi card and the SD Wi-Fi card.

Thanks.

The SD card sticks up more than the CF card by an eighth of an inch.

Palm OS 4.x in ... October ... oh that's just great. Why the two month delay?

Hey, if Hagiwara Sys-Com comes out with them sooner...
