Belkin Wifi Cf Card for PDAs
www.Belkin.com
The Belkin wifi card is a great addition to any PDA with a CF slot. It is wireless b so it works on b and g networks. From my testing it seems to have extremely good range, better then a Centrino laptop or a Linksys pc card. The card its self is a little bigger than most wifi cards out there but the range makes up for the bigness in my mind. The only light on the card is a little green led on the front that blinks when searching for a network and stays solid when it is locked on a network. The install is very simple with the included cd rom and the wifi software works well although it does not show ssid names only channels. The card also works well with wep encripted networks. This card is also great because you tend to find good deals on it at many online retailers. The power usage is moderate but higher than some other cards so if battery life is a huge factor for you i would not reccomend this card.
I give the Belkin CF Wifi card 4 out of 5 for great range but it could be a little bit smaller and conserve more battery life.
