I'm switching from a Palm M505 to a Pocket PC (probably a dell axim 400mhz) Now I was wondering, do they make a compact flash wi-fi adapter or something like that so I can connect via wireless?

Yes. The most common Type I CF WiFi cards are the ones from Socket, Netgear, D-Link and Linksys.

The socket's very low powered but also quite expensive :cry: :cry: :cry: $233 CAN at cendirect.com

I posted this in another thread a couple of days ago. Check out Chris De Herrera's Compact Flash WiFi adapter list (http://www.cewindows.net/peripherals/cfwirelesslan.htm).

Yea but i think the price makes up for it with the Axim being so cheap compared to a Pocket PC that has Wi-Fi already in it. If I'm wrong though someone please set me straight. I'm kind of making a blind jump into the Pocket PC world
