Wireless card for Garmin ique 
2008-06-01
This works great for my Garmin iQue M4. Great to use at restaurants/cafes. I wish it doubled as an SD card. I have to carry around my SD card separately.
Works Great on PDA 2008-05-06
Spectec 802.11b SDIO working great on an iPAQ 2110, operating system; WM 2003 2nd edition. Make sure you match the Authencation, Data Encrypton and Network Key to your network settings. Connects to unsecure networks no problem.
Spectec SDIO wireless networking card 2008-04-21
The Spectec SDIO wireless networking card is compatible with my Garmin iQue M5 pocket PC. The installation was easy and the performance is very good.
works with iPaq

I got this for my HP Ipaq rz1700. Installing the driver thru my computer wasn't hard and I was able to get the card to connect to both my home wireless and the network at my office. It does drain the battery quickly, but that may just be because my PDA is 3 yrs old. Overall, I'm happy. I just bought it as a toy.
poor customer support 
2008-04-11
Item worked for around one month then died. I paid s&h to send it back expecting a replacement OR REPAIR. they sent me back the same defective dead unit and after multiple emails (they kept asking technical questions in broken written English) they refused to replace it for a new one while it was still under "warranty".
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM
Works like a charm 2008-04-08
Spectec SDW-820 is the world's smallest SD WIFI card (802.11b) compatible with today most popular PDA models: iMate, iPAQ, Dell, etc. The card's sleek and compact design is less than half the size of today standard SD wireless cards, while outperforming its competitors in stability, speed, range, reception strength and more.Are you sick of how far your SD WiFi card sticks out of your PDA? Not only does it look tacky, it makes it pretty easy to accidentally break. The Spectec SDW-820 is your solution for connecting to the web anytime and anywhere!We dare you to compare the SDW-820's performance characteristics against similar cards from Sandisk! You will not find a better product!
Does what it's supposed to. 2008-03-31
This is a decent SDIO wireless card. Using it in my IPaq with no issues. The WLAN utility is basic, but very functional. Need to reboot sometimes to pick it up but besides that, can't beat it with a stick for under 30 bucks. Nice.
Good Stuff, some flaws 2008-03-23
The card works fine on my i-mate Jam, but I wont give 5 stars due to:
- If you leave the radio ON, it will drain your battery in a few hours
- Software hangs up from time to time. Windows reset required.
- Signal is not strong as I would like.
price/benefit is good, I recommend the item.
It works 2008-03-22
I have had this card in my PDA now for about two weeks. Installation was straight forward and card does work as advertised. I am using is with an IPAQ 1940 running v4.2 of pocket PC.
The Good:
-installation was simple
-card recognized with no problem
-it has expected range for something so small - and in general I think the range is very good
-works everywhere I have tried - my home network, public hotspots, etc.
The Not So Good:
-using activesync can be hit and miss - sometimes when I plug in it works and sometimes I need to eject the WAN card and reboot the IPAQ - I can't say I have spent too much time getting to the bottom of this and the workaround is not too much trouble
-I do find myself resetting the IPAQ more often then before the card, but this is not because the system has crashed but because it has stopped recognizing the WAN card - again, I have not spent much time troubleshooting this and I do not find it that much of a problem, just a little inconvenient
My final thoughts on this are that it works great, it's not perfect, but I paid about $20 for it and it was way cheaper than buying a new IPAQ with built in wireless networking.
Did not work with hp ipaq 2215 2008-03-20
The card does not work with my device. It doesn't even show up.
Don't buy!
