WiFi and Memory In One Card
Posted by Brad Adrian in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 AM
SanDisk says that their new 128MB/Wi-Fi compact flash combo card is going to be available on June 16.
"SanDisk’s Connect Plus 128MB + Wi-Fi CompactFlash™ card combines flash memory and wireless communications into a single card giving PDA and notebook users, the freedom to quickly transmit and receive data, images and music from thousands of hotspots worldwide."
• Up to 11 Mbps High Speed Data Transfer Rate
• Free PC Card Adapter for Laptops
• Battery optimized for lowest power and highest performance
• Powerful and easy to use security feature makes WEP encryption easy
• Extends the memory and brings new functionality to the device
• Single slot solution - can be used as memory card or Wi-Fi card to store and move files
• OS support for laptops (ME, 2000, XP) and PDAs (WinCE3.0 and above)
This is pretty exciting for anybody with a Pocket PC that has only a CF expansion slot, because it lets you work wirelessly without sacrificing access to your stored data and applications. I really like my SanDisk low power Wireless LAN Card, so I'm expecting the new combo card to be just as great. I can't find any pricing information, but SanDisk's regular WLAN card lists for $99.99, so something in the $150 - $200 range is probably what's in store for the combo card.
