Default Spectec's SDW-820 Wireless SD Card Reviewed
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2338

"I have no doubt that Spectec has found the trick on how to shorten the card substantially and at the same time lower its power consumption, all that without damaging the working range. Looks impossible, but it has been done. The card works greatly most of the time."



An English version of Helio Diamant's review of Spectec's SDW-820 Wireless SD Card (originally at Pocket PC Freak) has surfaced on the::unwired. This card, which we posted on a few weeks back, is one of the smallest SD Wi-Fi cards available in the market. Yet how does it rate? Read the review to find out! :-)

Impact Wireless and Expansys are going to be selling this card with different branding. I believe Impact wireless is expecting stock to arrive tomorrow (Friday)

Default Performance
All looks very promising but how does it actually perform. Due to some problem with firm/hardware my Sandisk SD WiFi card maxes out at 300 kilobit per second!

you can test the throughput at:

Any tests with other Wifi Cards are welcome!

Impact Wireless is a great company. I ordered my first PDA2k from them when it came out. They are VERY helpful and have great service and prices.

Thought I would mention that.

Oh I didn't realize that. I saw Impact offering for $104.95 and Expansys USA for $100.95, and I figured shipping from Canada might take longer and/or more expensive to boot, so I ordered from Expansys USA (and also because I'd ordered from Expansys before -- including a PDA2k).

But if the Impact price is $104.95 Canadian, that's only $84 US, argh.
