"Socket Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT, PSE: SOK), the Mobile Connection� Company, today announced August 2003 availability of its SDIO WLAN card for devices with SDIO-capable (Secure Digital Input Output) slots. The SDIO WLAN Card plugs into any SDIO card slot a Pocket PC or Pocket PC Phone Edition running BSQUARE Corporation�s SDIO Now! software and enables wireless Pocket PC connectivity to 802.11b corporate networks and Hot Spots. The easy-to-use product represents the smallest form factor for WLAN cards with ultra-low power consumption, and it will enable a range of new WLAN applications. The SDIO WLAN Card is one of three products in Socket�s growing SDIO family, which includes a connectivity card with Bluetooth wireless technology as well as a bar code scanning card that is also being announced today.

Any word on whether the HP 1910 will ever support SDIO?
(Regardless, this is very cool news).

I've been wondering if my ipaq 3970 has SDIO enabled. the product literature says "SDIO ready" with future patch, and I"m at the latest bios revision I think (2.10), but I haven't seen anything on whether the patches have enabled SDIO.

And what about the Ax 5!??? Can anyone offer even a vague hope that some mod can add IO 2 SD? (This is the only blemish in what is an almost perfect Pocket PC IMHO)
:cry:

The ones thing I question is what range can we really expect on a WIFI SDIO card? Seriously. That is one small card to begin with. The internal antenna is going to be pathetically small. Before I would ever even consider shelling out any cash for a device like this I would NEED benchmarks.

Toshiba e335
Anyone know if the e335 can use these types of standard SDIO cards? So far, I have been able to use Sandisk SD memory cards, and the Toshiba bluetooth card in this slot, but haven't tried anything else yet (of course, there's not much more available right now!)
Thanks!

It's not SDIO, and I would seriously doubt anything that would make it that. It's simply not a feature Dell chose to offer support for.

No clue - I don't have an e335. If you can use your Toshiba Bluetooth SD card in your device, it sounds like it supports SDIO.
