Default More money than Sense to get WiFi?

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



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

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!

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.

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.
