More money than Sense to get WiFi?

[Greenturtle]

After a little bit of searching I managed to find exactly what I was looking for on-line in the uk.

http://www2.multithread.co.uk/mtcshop/images/linitx.com/products/SD-Micro_to_SD_Card_Adapter_main.jpg

This is an SD to microSD which is fully SDIO compatible as is the Touch Dual's MicroSD socket.

I bought one of these a while ago http://www.spectec.com.tw/tes1image/bsdw_820.jpg for my old Ipaq PDA so I thought It would be an amusing test.

This is not some desperate attempt to get WiFi on my Touch Dual as I have a fine data contract, it is merely for research purposes.

What do you reckon? Worth £15?

i thing that for the moment if u really need wi-fi it is ok.
btw. can u pls post link where to buy it? thx balvi

I'm just going to buy it because it's useful for digital camera pictures on the move.

I don't get where's the wi-fi ... that's a simple SD to MicroSD adapter. there's no wi-fi connection there

You have found a Picture from a Wifi Card and you doesnt found the Producer?

Look -> http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdw823.htm

if you want buy ... search via ebay ... if you found only sd and mini sd version ... ask the guy for a micro sd version!

[balviforever]

but still the SDW-823 it not avalaible to buy at the moment.
but i still hope that wi-fi will be awailable on niki

You clearly didn't actually read my post.

I've bought this adapter for testing reasons and so I can transfer pictures from my digital camera on the move. I have a Spectec SD WiFi card which I bought 2 years ago for an old Ipaq.

Seeing as the unit is SDIO compatibe along with the Micro SD socket. I thought it would be worth a try trying to get WiFi with the adapter and the WiFi SD card.

Greenturtle, I would be really interested to know how you get along with that adapter.

I really want to get wifi working on the Nike so i can use it as a Wireless access point for my laptop (work laptop, so cant use phone as USB modem)- therefore want to use www.wmwifirouter.com

I have sent a few emails to Spectec about the SDW-823 - according to there tests it wont work with the Nike as they say it hasnt got SDIO - which is contrary to the spec's.

keep us updated please.

[Greenturtle]

Well the item was dispatched this morning

It will be here tomorrow hopefully and I shall begin testing. The Internet does suggest the Touch Dual has SDIO though.

I shall also test whether the WiFi less Tornado has SDIO as well by means of an MicroSD to MiniSD adapter.

[balviforever]

hi.
so how does it look? is it working?
thx

[minty1978]

the micro sd wifi card is coming!

no idea on prices though.

I think its a good idea. Wifi was the only thing holding be back from getting the Niki, and that eventually resulted in my getting the Cruise. I don't use WiFi the majority of the time as I have great 3G reception in NYC, but when I am travelling it is great to be able to use wifi so that I can Skype ppl back home w/o roaming fees.

Let us know how your experiment works! If you can do a smooth intergration underneath the battery cover or inside the casing somehow that would be awesome. Are SD/miniSD hubs available, so that you wouldn't have to lose the ability to use the Sd slot for storage while on wifi?

[xiufoong]

Hi Greenturtle, it the SD wifi card working on touch dual ? I am thinking to buy this as well.....

[dekoning]

It says it should work on any 5.x and 6.x windows mobile devices.

So i guess we have to wait till it's released.

[graceless]

Any updates? Has anyone tested it? This would be awesome if it worked as I didn't think I would but I do miss WiFi now I have a Touch Dual

That's MiniSD, the Niki only eats MicroSD ;)

I've found some microSD cards on ebay. I have been informed by the sellers that they will work on the Nike.

A mate of mine got one, for her Nike, and she said it works, but it lags a fair bit.

I will still probably get one.

[sionfletcher]

I bought one of those adapter things and a wifi card, cant get it working though. I've installed the wm6 .cab from spectec, plug in the wi fi card expecting to see a "Network Detected" window (according to the manual), but nothing happens.

Any ideas? :)

I'm running Tom's v2.1.3
