Does anyone know of a Compact Flash card that has both Bluetooth and WiFi ?

And Linux support ? :-)

Thanks!

You might be better to look for a fish that can ride a bicycle while singing the french national anthem in russian... ?

Oftentimes Linux users are out in the cold for support/drivers for any whizbang gear.

The cost of such a device would be nearly 50% of the cost of a bluetooth/wifi pocket pc wouldnt it? What are you intending to put it in?

hehe .. I'll try the chicken sacrafice tonight, but I'm not hopeful!

I want to get a Zaurus PDA (since it's actually makes rather a nice small computer), but the bloody things don't come with Bluetooth or WiFi .. which is kind of stupid in my books for a device that is supposed to be used on the move.

Failing that I need to find a PDA that can be converted to Linux (and not have any features not working , like screen, bluetooth etc) and that has a keybaord like the SL-C1000 ... getting difficult!

I did look at that Sony Viao UX .. nice looking and nice to hold, but ran like a dog due to the puny amount of RAM and slow disk (oh and the WindowsXP) .. but the price is a tad extreme for for what I need.

Anyways .. back to the Google searching .. must be a usable device somewhere!
