Summary: This product is junk!!!! Save yourself a headache
Review: If you own a Dell Axim THIS CARD WILL NOT INSTALL PROPERLY. I returned the card to staples and the I experience the same results with the second card. The card works in my HP notebook. I will not get into much detail with the problem because I do feel like typing a page and I did not resolve the problem. I will be taking this card back to staples in the AM. The problem was that the card would not connect to my 54G dlink router. The card would only register it's mac address with the Axim about 10% of the time. During that 10% my router saw the sandisk because its mac was registered. I even shut off WAP and this did not fix the problem. ... There knowledge base and e-mail support request do not even list the product. I've been working in IT for almost 10 years(desktop, network, programer), have two computer degrees, MCSE+I, CCNA, CCDA and A+. I started setting up wireless networks building to building four years ago and although I have been in management for the past couple of years I should still be able to install a wireless network device????Recommedation if you own an Axim stay away from this thing.

Summary: Does not work with Dell Axim
Review: Make sure you read the support issues on this card, and preferably call Tech support to see if there are known issues with your pocket PC before you buy this card. I bought this card for my Dell Axim X5 (Pocket PC 2002), and it just did not work, inspite of trying to install and uninstall thrice. Sandisk support site and customer service rep claimed that there are known issues with Dell Axim - the 128 MB memory portion does not work. He claimed that only the wireless portion should work. However, that did not work either in my case inspite of trying everything under the sun. My recommendation - stay away from this if you own a Dell Axim.

Summary: Sharp Zaurus-SL-5600
Review: Stay away from the SanDisik Connect Plus Wi-Fi adapter. This product was supposed to work flawlessly with the Sharp Zaurus SL-5600, just plug it in they said. Well let me tell you that just isn't the case. Neither the Wi-Fi nor the 128MB of memory show up in the Zaurus System. After performing a cardctl ident it will come up as SanDisk Connect Plus. But, nothing more will work. --Lets hope Sharp or SanDisk will fix the problem (because neither will refund me my money.)

Summary: Garbage. Stay Away!
Review: The WiFi component of this cards works but the memory is only sporadically accessable. Neither my Axim or my desktop USB reader can use it reliably. Sometimes the memory is available and at other times I get a message that the card isn't formatted. I have used plenty of CF memory cards before and I have never seen a problem like this. Don't waste your money until Sandisk gets around to fixing this problem.

Summary: well... It works great for me
Review: this card is excellent if you plan to save a slot for your handheld device, since it combines with 128MB memory and Wi Fi antenna. the reception and speed is a lot better than I thought, everything works fine except the memory capacity should have 256 or 512MB
and the size is also a cons for this card....

Summary: Avoid this item like the PLAGUE
Review: This item is SUBSTANDARD product. The memory on it cannot be access via readers or via ANY DELL AXIM. Dell blames SanDisk and SanDisk blames Dell. SanDisk will NOT stand behind the unit or replace it. They just promise at some point a driver will be released to fix the problem. Over a month later and still NO driver. Go with someone that test's their product and supports it. AVOID this one.

Summary: Not useful for PPC 2003
Review: This product is crap. In PPC 2003 there is no utility to turn off the WIFI part of the card so it doesn't just sit there and drain your battery while you are using the memory portion. All the documentation included was for 2002, although there is a driver for 2003 on their website. Still doesn't include control utilites. When I called Sandisk they just said it isn't available for PPC 2003 and it was a feature in PPC 2002. They aren't interested in writing a utility themselves. So it will be useless soon as people upgrade to 2003 or buy a new pocket pc.

Summary: Doesn't work with older Windows Pocket PC and Windows CE
Review: Well, even though the card without the 128 meg of memory supports the older pocket PC versions (pre-2002), this card doesn't. I have an older HP Jornada 548, and thought I'd get a deal, since the additonal memory is basically "free". Would not install with the supplied drivers, not the driver downloaded from the SanDisk website. Also, wouldn't work with the drivers from the card w/o the memory. Had to return to Amazon.com, and order the LinkSys card...
