Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

Wireless cards are a thing of the past - the late 2004 past but they're still alive and kicking until this day. The Smart PDA gives us a review of the Socket P300 which costs a cheap $99.00 compared to the $200 you'd have had to shell out several months ago.

They claim that this is the fastest wireless SDIO card in the market. So if you own a PDA with an SDIO expansion slot, sans the WiFi, a measly 99 bucks will get you up and surfing in no time.

Here are some of the other features of the Socket P300:

• 5x faster than any other SDIO WLAN cards in the market!
• Compatible with existing 802.11 b Wi-Fi networks
• Works in Windows Mobile 2003, 2003SE and 5.0 devices
• Supports Open, 40/64 and 128-bit WEP encryption, WPA-PSK, AES, WPA-2. 802.1x authentication with EAP-TLS or PEAP
• Automatic Power Saving mode balances battery life, throughput speed
• Supports wireless ActiveSync
• Show WLAN connection status and power mode via LEDs on the card
