Spectec Unveils microSD 802.11b/g Wi-Fi Card
I thought it would be a cold day in hell before we ever saw a microSD Wi-Fi card, but no, Spectec has continued to defy logic by creating one and including support for the 11g specification. While most microSD-capable Pocket PCs and Smartphones support Wi-Fi out of the box, a small minority do not (for example, the HTC Breeze), so this would make a great accessory. If you've never seen microSD cards in the flesh and you want to appreciate just how small they are, check out a real life shot of a 1GB microSD card after the break.

I wonder how far it protrudes out when inserted into the microsd slot.

If the shots above are any indication (with special attention to the proportion of the size of the grooves on the side of the card), I'd say there's almost zero protrusion.

That is absolutely absurd!!! How is it possible to make a WiFi card that small!

What I'm wondering is how good a reception you could possibly get - the aerial must be awfully small to fit into that.

Maybe it's the Win Modem idea...Let the PPC do all the heavy lifting.
