Rasputinj (http://rasputinj.com/article1845.html) has found a good deal on the Socket SDIO WiFi card (http://www.socketcom.com/product/WL6200-480.asp). It's available for under $90 and you can get a $20 rebate, too.
Buy.com (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10352970&dcaid=1688) is selling the card for $88.49 with free shipping. If you're in a location where Buy.com charges sales tax, though, you may get a slightly better price from Neutron Express (http://www.neutronexpress.com/prod.cfm/234780/SOCKET), which sells the card for $93.49 with free shipping and no tax (at least, not in California).
The rebate is available at Socket's Web site in the dreaded PDF format (http://www.socketcom.com/pdf/rebateWLAN030104.pdf).
I have an iPAQ 5550, which includes built-in WiFi, so I don't need this, and it won't work with my iPAQ 3870, which doesn't have SDIO. However, I'm tempted to get one for my daughter's ViewSonic V36. ViewSonic wants $129 for their SDIO WiFi card.
Are you tempted by this price? Have you used the Socket card? Share your thoughts in the discussion.
