I have an IPAQ 2210, which has built in Bluetooth, but not Wi-Fi. As I have
a 4 GB Microdrive in the CF card slot, I'm thinking of getting an SDIO Wi-Fi
card to add that capability. (Not with memory added, just the Wi-Fi.)

There seems to be two companies that make SDIO Wi-Fi cards--Sandisk and
Socket. (If there are any others, please correct me.)

Does anyone know if there are any differences in these cards? Anyone tried
both? Anyone know of any comparative reviews one could read? Do they both
work well with the IPAQ 2210?

Or-exactly the same? (Perhaps even the same product, with different brand
names on them?) If that is the case, then I guess price would be the only
consideration in deciding which to choose. I think the Sandisk card can
usually be bought at a lower price than the Socket card. (But I don't know
if there might be something better about the Socket card?)
