Can anyone recommend a CF Wifi card that does not project too much from the top of the device, at present I am using an el cheapo Lifeview CF card on my 2215 and it projects about 3/4 of an inch and is very thick .

I wouldn't mind replacing it, and getting using it via a CF adapater on a PC.

The Socket (http://www.socketcom.com/product/WL6004-322.asp) one has a pretty small antenna and is very low power.

Wow - I just googled the Lifeview wifi card and it certainly does look like a pretty heafy antenna.

As Janak notes, the Socket card is probably one of the smallest around - but you do pay a bit more for them. A possibly cheaper alternative is the Zonet ZCF1100 ( HERE (http://www.zonetusa.com/product.htm#)) for example. I think this card is also sold under a variety of other names.

I have been using one of these for the last few months in my Jornada and am very happy with it.
