Dual & Spectec ?

[ianp]

Saw this asked in the Networking forum, but does anybody here know the answer - Can the add-on wifi cards from, say, Spectec be used to gain WLAN on the Touch Dual ?

Rather answered my own question over lunch with a look at the Touch Dual in the store.

Technology apart, the card slot is behind one of those break-me-first-time-you-use-me rubber covers and located around the bottom left-hand edge of the device - so any antenna, however slightly it protrudes, is likely going to get in the way all the time if left is situ and/or get knocked loose and dropped.

Technology-wise, I did see a (google-translated) entry on a French forum that seemed to be saying the writer had heard from Spectec directly they were releasing a compatible card in Q1 2008 - so a plug-it-in-when-needed approach may yet be possible if that's good enough.

HTC Touch Dual AK NIKI100 work with SIDO Cards. This WLAN Card is a SIDO. I can say ... it works! Only thing its ... a little bit longer!
