    Guys,

    Can you recommend a decent Bluetooth SDIO Card for my PDA.

    I want to use it in conjuction with my Bluetooth enabled Laptop and also Nokia 6600.

    Also possibly a Bluetooth GPS reciever for the car.

    I have looked around and they are pretty expensive anyone know of a decent priced one and also pro's and cons of using them

    thanks in advance

    works great, got it from Expansys.co.uk.

    SDIO is an SD card that can be somthing other then a memmory card (regualr SD). I have SDIO WLAN, Bluetooth and Webcams here as welll as memmory cards.

    the wifi one is well handy with the 256 MB, pity you can't get a combined Bluetooth/WIFI and 256 MB + card would be well handy !

    you may want to ensure compatibility with your PDA first... some PDAs only work with SD memory cards or require a ROM upgrade to work with SDIO cards, and even if the PDA is SDIO compatible it may not work with some SDIO cards!

    best check the SDIO card vendor's site (e.g. Socket or Pretec) to see if they support your device or there are any special requirements

    Yep my PDA can support SD/MMC and also SDIO :)

    Maybe if I hold on a few months we might get a triple combo card with BT/WIFI and Storage. :confused:
