Figure 3-3: I’m tired of hearing these adapters described as creditcard size, but I can’t come up with a better description.
Secure Digital I/O Adapter: You use this adapter (shown in Figure 3-4)
with a PDA or Pocket PC, and it fits into an SDIO slot. If you want to give
a Palm PDA wireless capability, first be certain that it's equipped with an
SDIO expansion slot. Not all are, so check the specs. SDIO slots are also
beginning to supplant Compact Flash slots on Pocket PCs.
Compact Flash Adapter: Type I and Type II CF slots are beginning to dis-
appear from Pocket PC handheld devices these days, but enough of
them are still around that you might be able to adapt your handheld
with a CF wireless adapter (like the one shown in Figure 3-5).
