I've had my XDA2 for about 4 weeks and I'm so impressed with what it can do, several of my work colleauges have bought them after seeing mine.
My query is about wi-fi SD cards and peoples preferences. Which card offers better performance over others? I looked at Expansys and they have several on there site, including the Sandisk, which retails for over £100 yet are on e-bay for around £40!! Anyone recommend a good reliable card to use with my XDA? Thanks and Happy New Year.
the sandisk and the socket or whats the name is the same hardware and can share the same drivers
not sure if thats the case for all wifi cards
but the ones with onboard memory dont work with xda2's at all
I got the sandisk ages ago (without onboard memory)and it works a treat.
dont pay expansys price, that sounds wrong to me, I paid £60 when they first came out!
Thanks for the help, I'll proberly wait out on e-bay, although Expansys are still selling them at £103 http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=106495

Spectec on Himalaya with Magneto
Hello bluenovember!
I got one Spectec SD WiFi card (Mft Prod. No. WL6200480 - $89)
Does not work with Magneto 1.50i.96WWE, due unsuccessful driver installation.
Works well on YAKUMO Delta PocketPc with WM 2003 SE.
The same applies to Socket SD 802.11b PN 8510-00204A v2.1 ($95)
Does anyone (hopefully) have other experience?
I have the pocketGEAR SDIO WiFi. It only does 802.11b but only sticks out 6mm which makes it a far safer bet from a physical point of view - works great in my XdaII.
Got the wifi card how do I connect to the internet?
Hi, like Dfanton I have a Spectec 11b wlan card. (got through ebay £42)
The xdaII detects it fine, but when I press the InternetExplorer button it uses the GPRS connection.
How do I use the Wlan card? I got it to use the public hotspot in the canteen at work without having to haul my laptop about through security.
Any hints or tips would be appreciated.

Flyingvicar,
I presume you have installed the driver from the CD. If so click on it in program files to check that it is detecting the wi-fi signal and the settings match your wi-fi router.
If nothing is detected go to settings/connection/network card/netwok adaptors and choose spectec. Add your wi-fi to new settings and it should say connected.
BTW pockgetgear, spectec and computer devices .11b cards are all the same card.
y my xda2 just can't detect the spectec sd wifi????????
Safecom 802.11b PDA WiFi SDiO adapter - any good?
The Safecom 802.11b PDA WiFi SDiO adapter is currently selling on ebay for £28.49 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SD-WiFi-WLAN-...873370821QQcategoryZ58542QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) - does anyone know if this is this any good and if it will work okay with the XDA II?
(Incidentally, this is a good price as their main (non-ebay) website lists the same item at £34.99).
Many thanks

Mini SD is a standard size and shape. They fit fine.
well, not quite. I've read reviews about the spectec mini sd wifi cards, and they do stick out of the card slot so you cannot close the plastic door. So you are not right. (Btw, few years ago, sandisk had a sd wifi card, which was sticking out about an inch from the card slot. So that the card is mini sd doesn't mean it won't stick out. It only means, it will fit the slot)

I don't think any exist right now. They get horrible reception as is and enclosing it completely would make it virtually unusable.
I only found this one, too, and I am really missing WLan.

Hi boys and girls,
I was very exited when I bought my 4G min SD ( Mini SDHC) to use with my HP IPAQ 6515 but didn't want to work and the IPAQ doesn't even detected it.
Even when I tried it in my laptop using the SD adpater come with it, the laptop didn't detect the mini SD.
Is the mini SD faulty or is there any fix for it.
I appricaite any help

Wanted to know if people had any experience to share about micro to (full size) mini sim adapters which can be used with this tab.
Will be getting a micro sim and hoping to use either a sleeve or adapter.
Any do's or don'ts.
Concerned about breaking pins or having a card-adapter ensemble that refuses to eject :crying:
