Instead, take a look at the pocketGEAR Australia SDIO Wireless LAN Card, touted as being the 'World's Smallest WiFi Card'."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_pocketgear_australia_sd_wifi.jpg" /><br /><br />While most of the Pocket PCs today come with WiFi built-in, I know there are still a number of you who may be carrying older and/or smaller devices without it. If you're one of these folks and are searching for a way to outfit your device with WiFi (without the bulky antenna), then head on over and check out the Gadgeteer's review!

If it's the world's smallest, it's only by a millimetre or so. The Socket Go! WiFi E300 (http://www.socketcom.com/product/WL6207-600.asp) is pretty damn small too.

We used one with a Symbol MC1000 handheld recently - this handheld isn't available with built-in WiFi, the Socket card is the only supported one. Seemed OK but the Mobile Companion software isn't available for that handheld, it used the Windows WZC user interface instead.

I think this wifi card is the Spectec in disguise. Apparently a very good device and one I would love to have myself.
