Expansions: WiFi: Secure Digital

WiFi can be thought of as "wireless Ethernet" and is a standard way of connecting PDA's and other computers to local area networks.  All cards listed below are based on the 802.11b wireless standard unless otherwise noted and are SD unless otherwise noted.  Secure Digital has become one of the most popular memory forms in recent years. SD Bluetooth cards can work in only an SDIO slot, not simply SD. Quotes are from the respective companies webpage and are not a value judgment of davespda.com.
