In other words, there is currently no way to WiFi-enable a Toshiba e330-series device. It has an SDIO-capable slot, but lacks the SDIO Now! drivers to allow SDIO WiFi cards to work, and as mscdex pointed out, you can't use a USB WiFi adapter either.

Sorry The e330 was one of the last generation of Pocket PCs (along with the 1910) that is not WiFi-capable. Most, if not all newer units are WiFi-capable (sometimes built-in, sometimes with a CF or SDIO card). Some of them can be had for a good deal, so keep on looking about.

Dell had the X3i w/ built-in wifi for $166 a few days ago, might still have it for that. I believe it was a refurb (Dell Outlet), not sure tho.
