Chances are it could,
it's no fancy GPIO card, but a mini computer that exports the fulesystem to the host and uses energy of the host to conduct Wi-Fi networking.

Fairly basic stuff, only a cool product incorporating them this way...

If You feel Your $49 as a burden, go for it, otherwise get a 4GB SD and a 100m range USB bluetooth for Your Internet host (PC?), and for the rest buy a chocolate to Your best friend...

It des not look as it can be re-configured on the PDA so You will probably forget "]["
;)

IMHO

It could only be used as a regular SD card. I don't think the Wifi could ever be made to work because there is no I/O connection between the SD card pins and the Atheros Wifi chip/processor. I think the only way into the processor and OS of the thing is through Wifi, so even if you could hack the EyeFi's OS, the PDA will never recognize it as more than an SD card.
