"Socket Communications, Inc., an innovative provider of mobile productivity products, today announced the availability of the Go Wi-Fi!™ P300 – 802.11g SDIO card. Designed for Pocket PCs or other mobile devices running Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE or Windows Mobile 5.0 software, the Go Wi-Fi! P300 provides a secure wireless connection that is five times faster than previous versions."
I think it's worth pointing out that Pocket PCs and most other handheld devices can't make much use of the speed boost. In general, it'll be faster, but don't expect it to approach desktop speeds. Also, while I think this is a useful upgrade for those who want their networks to go "g-only", it's still no substitute for integrated wireless. Still, I'm sure there are plenty of you interested, and the unit costs $99 and is supposedly available now.
