BostonPocketPC Reviews SanDisk Connect+ 128MB WiFi CF Card
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 04:28 PM
Steven 'fyiguy' Hughes, one of the most prolific and "everywhere at once" people in the Pocket PC industry, has written up a solid review on this new Sandisk product:
"If you are an owner of a PocketPC with only on CF slot and are begrudgingly switching out cards for WiFi access at the loss of additional memory, the folks at SanDisk have come out with an all in one solution called the Connect Plus 128MB + Wi-Fi CompactFlash™ This card combines flash your standard Compact Flash memory and 802.11b 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."
I really like the idea of this card, but the more I think about it, I'm not convinced it would fit with the way I use my Pocket PC: I'd tend to only want the WiFi card with me when I was sure I'd have WiFi access, whereas I'd always want my data with me - so I'd probably install apps to the SD or CF card I'd want to keep in the unit all the time. What about you? Does this product appeal to you?
