Does anybody produce a BT PC Card with driver support for both Windows XP on a laptop and Pocket PC 2002 (an iPAQ with a PCMCIA sleeve)? If so, what's the best one, and has anybody had any experiences with such a product?
Thanks!

The Socket Bluetooth card (http://www.socketcom.com/product/BL4517-386.asp) is considered a good one. It's also CF type I for maximum flexibility.

I can recommend the Socket card. I also use a TDK PCMCIA card in my laptop for Bluetooth ActiveSync and the work fine together.

I use a 3Com. It works with Ipaq as well. Be aware hoever, the implementation of the software does not allow you to connect to a loox.

Get Bluetooth for both! USB adapters are now as low as 39.00 at www.compgeeks.com. Why not just get your laptop it's own? Belkin CF cards can be had for as low as $75, so for about $115 you've spent less than some of the more expensive cards.

I use the Belkin Bluetooth CF card
Works nicely with my PDAs (iPAQ 3835 and Toshiba e550G)
and the sony-ericsson T68m phone with T-Mobile

I can not complain. I have not had any issues with using the mphone pro app with it also for doing my sms sends and also syncing my phone book and sim
