Wi-Fi for XDA 1

[ReNDeR]

Where I can buy WiFi SD Card for XDA 1 ?

XDA 1 does'nt have SDIO. So whatever card you will put in, it won't work

hi ..

can you elaborate on the SDIO ? i have a sd wi-fi card .. and sure it fits as you say ... but it doesnt recognise the card either ... so this card is usless in this xda 1 you say ?

so this card is usless in this xda 1 you say ?
Unfortunate but true. The XDAII has an SD-IO slot, the original XDA only supports SD memory cards.

(There is a camera which emulates a memory card, but all other cards that aren't storage need an SD-IO capable slot.)

Anyone knows whether there is a product that gets Wi-Fi onto XDA I via the sync port or IrDA port? Both channels should be possible in theory, right?

With Wi-Fi on XDA I and the upcoming VOIP products for PDA platform, we would be able to make free net phone calls over broadband at home (or hotsports if you subscribe them). You would pay $20/mo for the lowest end plan and get the high end plan others are paying $120/mo for. Home land line will become a passe!

Quite off the point. xda-developers.com is for XDA I (& II) developers and users regardless whether XDA I is taken off t-Mobile's shelf or not. Besides, while it may sound cool and fashionable to say that, an $800 (or $900?) XDA II (without built-in Wi-Fi) sounds like a ripoff. You need a bluetooth earphone to work on XDA I? It's available without built-in bluetooth capability. My friend just bought a bluetooth earphone that works off of the earphone jack of XDA I for $110. Whatever else bluetooth can do is doable via IrDA and sync port already, not to mention XDA II's flaky bluetooth implementation (search for bluetooth for the headaches XDA II users have and you will be fed up).

I feel that XDA I was selling at or below cost for HTC to gain a foothold (R&D cost is always very high for the first product in the line). You can find it on the net selling for as low as $270 (search on google for "t-mobile pocket pc phone $") while a standalone iPod is selling for $100 more than that! XDA II is their payback time.

$530 for a flaky bluetooth, SDIO port (v.s. SD) and a little more memory? Even Bill Gate said that he would not pay for stuff that is not a good deal.
