HOW SHINY IS THIS :)

Wonder if it will work on the E100... doubt it though ;)

Socket Wireless LAN SD Card

All you need is a Pocket PC 2003 (running Windows Mobile 2003) with an SDIO slot running SDIO Now!, and you can use the SDIO WLAN Card to access the Internet, email, and corporate servers.

Now you can access enterprise and public Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) Wireless LAN systems from your Pocket PC 2003 using the smallest and lightest form factor available. Socket’s SDIO Low Power Wireless LAN Card card is the industry’s first SDIO card that lets you wirelessly connect to Wi-Fi networks to access the Internet, email, and corporate servers.

Extend the reach and usefulness of your company’s wireless LAN resources. From conference rooms, training centers, and cafeterias, you are free to work, teach or study wherever you’re most productive.

The ability to work while on the road or away from the office or school is becoming more important to today’s mobile user. Public hot spots, such as coffee shops, hotels, shopping malls and airports, are offering wireless Internet access based on the 802.11b standard.

People who need to share information can meet anywhere, bringing only their mobile computers, and wirelessly transfer files either as a broadcast to all members or peer-to-peer.

The card works with a variety of WLAN security protocols. You can use the WLAN card with an open system or encrypted network with 40/64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys. The card is also compatible with 802.1x networks with EAP-TLS or PEAP, so you can connect securely without eavesdropping.

Socket designed the SDIO Low Power WLAN Card to be Battery Friendly®. When your Pocket PC is connected to a wireless LAN, the WLAN card is in idle (listening) mode about 90% of the time, with occasional short bursts of data being transmitted/received. Plus, Socket’s SDIO WLAN software offers a Power Save Mode. Using Socket’s card means that you’ll get the maximum possible battery life from your Pocket PC.

Not on SP2002....no SDIO support in the OS ;)

[Guest Brody]

Looks goooooood though!

[Guest James]

yeah, sweet.....

[Guest Mr_Protozoa]

Sweeet, I'd get one (after i get SP2003).

It looks a bit long, will it poke out the end of the phone? Or does the end section fold up/down?

Any word on price?

[Guest James]

i take it the bit that sticks out the end will be the RX TX circuit

If there's no SDIO support in 2002, then how will the SD Camera work on the new Motorola :?: Presumebly, they'd have to upgrade the Motorola to 2003 for the camera to work :?:

[Guest pisquee]

I thought that there is SDIO support in 2002, but with this each device needs a driver ... i.e. motorola will have driver for their camera on the phone.

The idea of SDIO Now, is that drivers are not needed (IIRC)

Although, it's not ACTUALLY shiny is it...

"]Although, it's not ACTUALLY shiny is it...

;) i was thinking that, more Matt Black :D

And yes the phones support SDIO but not SDIO NOW! Therefore each device would need a drive written for it :?

[Guest cyrilthefish]

i'd buy one the minute someone wrote smartphone 2002 drivers for it :D

I have a wireless network set up here, i'd love my phone to be able to use it as well ;)

[Guest hk]

It so is shiny :lol: just depends on if your looking at its colour or its technological shinyness ;)

Hmm its nice out here on the roof :D nice 54g wifi and lappy *does a lil dance*

[Guest Maverick]

Two companies manufacture those... Socket and Sandisk.. Neither of them seem to be interested in writing a driver for Smartphone. :-(

Interesting one that, aint it? ;)

Presumably moto wrote their own drivers for their own SDIO camera.

OT:

I've been secretly bringing access points and cards home for the last couple of days - The wife is going to notice sooner or later, but it's all going in the loft and she's sh1t scared of spiders so I'm safe for a bit
