Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can give personal experience on using h2210 (or any
other iPAQ) with either:
CF WiFI or, SDIO wifi.

I've been doing my homework, and found that the D-Link and Netgear CF cards
to be quite power hungry (and from memory - I've lost the webpages which had
the comparisons) are quite power-hungry units - and was wondering if anyone
could comment on these?

Also, Socket have released new low-power CF Wifi
http://www.socketcom.com/product/WL6004-322.asp?View=Specs and was again,
wondering what people's experience with these are.  And, who the .au
distributors for Socket were?

I'm at the stage where I need some memory, so Sandisk's 128mb CF is
tempting, but power hungry again, and sandisk even have 256mb version in
their industrial specs (just got to talk to the distributor about getting it
into Australia) and --- again, anyone with experience on these?)

And also, to compare with the SDIO Sandisk (I believe the Socket SDIO is the
same product?) and the range of these cards against the CF alternatives.

And FYG, Landmark computers were offloading h2210's for $399 the other week,
which as those in the business know is well below wholesale cost on the
units alone.  Apparently they purchased some notebooks and these in a
bundle, and seperated.  As the end-customer though, we're also eligible for
a execpak (hard case, car charger and more styli from HP)... 

Finally, anyone ever used ipaq with Movian VPN @ Monash?  Results were
satisfactory??

Thanks All,

Luke
