Netgear MA701 Wireless Compact Flash Adapter...$19.99!
Talk about a smokin' deal! $49.99, knock of $30 for a rebate, and you get 802.11b in a Type 1 form-factor for a mere $19.99. What's not to like?
"NETGEAR's Compact Flash Card gives handheld devices a new level of connectivity and versatility! Slip it into either a Type I or Type II card slot on your handheld device, then send and receive e-mail, synchronize with your notebook computer, and browse the Internet from the palm of your hand."
UPDATE: Looks like they're all sold out. :cry:

I know I am not supposed to ask tech suppot questions, but, if I get two of these, one in my laptop and one in my PPC can I set up some kind of ad-hoc wireless network?

The way WiFi works I'd say you could do that (but I've never done it)
BTW They dont ship outside the US. Bummer :cry:
Anyone out there prepared to buy one on my behalf and ship to Melbourne, Australia? I'd be happy to pay in advance for the card and shipping :beer:

Shame about the U.S. shipping, I have bought a couple of things now from the U.S. and even paying shipping to NZ and GST they still work out cheaper.
Oh well I guess I will have to stick to a what I have for a while longer.

Nice try, but these were gone even before Jason posted the link. (I know because I saw this a couple of hours ago). You can add it to your cart, but then the following message appears:
"We're sorry, but there are only 0 items available for item #633616.
Please click the view cart button above to review your order.
Your order quantity has been adjusted."
The quantity was adjusted to zero. :cry:

Yes you can - and you can use your computer as a gateway to browse the net etc.
You will have to wait for another deal though...

I absolutely know I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you need a router first. I don't think two 802.11b cards can talk directly to each other. Can anyone else verify or refute what I am saying? I cannot see two laptops in my home unless the router is enabled.
