Summary: Another Axim-Sandisk victim
Review: Whoops, I bought this card for my Dell Axim X5 before I had a chance to read these reviews. I was at the store and didn't find the product I intended to buy, so I got this instead. I had trouble with the drivers (I have to have both the CD-supplied drivers and the newer downloaded drivers installed for it to work) but I finally got a connection and finally got the "Wi-Fi Settings" utility to work. The connection is reliable although after installing something else to the Axim I had to re-install the Sandisk drivers. The most annoying problem, however, has been the memory capability of this card. It doesn't work in my card reader, and while the Axim at first saw the 128MB, it then indicated an error and I think it then asked to re-format the card, now it indicates that the card has a capacity of 31MB. The Flash Format utility (from CNetX) can't even see the memory. Maybe the Axim has a problem, but I certainly expect the Sandisk to be readable in a card reader to fulfill its promise as a dual-purpose device. It's going back tomorrow.

Summary: Great tool but needs better documentation
Review: With my iPaq 3835 and Compact Flash sleeve I was able to setup the SanDisk card in about 30 minutes. It would have taken much less time if there had been ANY help in the documentation or online, but still, just by hacking around I was able to get up and running on my home wireless network in little time. One note: I use an Airport (by Apple) for my wireless point and the SanDisk picked it up immediately out of the box (even before I got the settings right). I definitely recommend this product - it is sturdy, the storage part of the card works great (nice bonus) and it does NOT stick far out the iPaq at all - just be sure you have some knowledge of wireless networking or a friend that can help you.
