Guest Confucious Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 No chance whatsoever. The SD WiFi cards have an external arial so the fact that the MiniSD card is behind the battery rules this out.

Guest Confucious Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 How about a erm..bluetooth wi-fi adaptor? or is that just too dumb? Not dumb, but a bit pointless? Why not just use BT?
Guest brykins Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Not dumb, but a bit pointless? Why not just use BT? Because you can't sit in a hotel and connect to a BT network. A small WiFi accesspoint (about the size of a matchbox with a rechargeable battery) could be carried and could sit on the table in said hotel within the 10m radius of my phone. I connect to this via BT and it connects to the WiFi network.....
Guest Confucious Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 It's an idea - but I doubt if there is enough demand for it. I usually have my laptop when I'm in a hotel room.
Guest JBW Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 bluetooth is substantially slower than all flavors of 802.11 so I don't really see an adapter coming out for it. As for a wifi mini-sd card, assuming they did release one, and assuming it didn't have protrusions like the current SD cards (already quite a few prohibitive assumptions) it would be too shielded to ever get a good signal, hidden behind the battery as it is. Unfortunately I don't think you are going to get Wifi in any of the current gen HTC phones. That will likely change in future phones though... ~JBW
Guest pjam001 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Why not a wifi adapter that fits into the phones small usb slot?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 It would need to be a master device as the port on the C500 is a slave.

Infact, I cant wait till they stop with smartphones and get a proper phone out like the mpx 300 but smaller/lighter and with GPS and 3G integration.

I already do - I have an Axim X50v and use that for WiFi stuff. I'd just like to go back to a combined device but am spoilt now by the VGA screen....if they came up with an iMate Jam with a higher res screen and WiFi, I'd be off like a shot ;-)
