Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Socket Mobile Low Power Wireless LAN CF Card
Customer Review: Very nice CF wireless card
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great card. I use it with my iPaq 3950 and it provides excellent connection quality, on par with laptop PCMCIA cards. Also it does not drain my battery and seems to use almost no power when I am getting a strong signal (close to the access point).
The client software and drivers also work nicely with PocketPC 2002. I have heard it's better with PPC 2003 but haven't tried it. I did have some problems making the card work properly under Linux, but that was more than a year ago and I believe there are now community-created Linux drivers ready for this card.
The other great thing about this card is its durability. It is very compact and very sturdy solid and does not protrude very far from the device. I was never concerned about breaking it off, even with the iPaq in my pocket.
One time, I removed the Socket wireless card and stashed it in the coin pocket of my jeans. I forgot it was there, and put the jeans through the washer and dryer (both on maximum hot setting). When I pulled the jeans out of the dryer and realized the card was still in the pocket, my heart sunk. It had gotten very wet and hot. But the plastic was not warped and the labels on the card did not even come off. When I plugged it in the next day, it still worked just fine! Impressive - but don't try this at home!
