Intersil is working to add wireless networking to handheld devices.

The wireless equipment maker announced on Tuesday that it is working with SyChip to incorporate 802.11b wireless networking technology into a Secure Digital (SD) card for handheld devices.

Question: Will this work with Mini-Stumbler?
Answer: No. "The card uses Intersil's Prism 3 chipset. "

hmmm, why would they try to get it into something that small? they already have them for compact flash cards...
wonder if the SD cards will be cheaper

well the trend in devices is smaller and smaller these days and the backers of SD have been making a lot of noise about SDIO. Toshiba has a whole line of SDIO devices getting ready to come to market - I am particularly looking forward to their GPS in an SD form factor.

Zaurus has both.

I would think the SD's are more to help the new Palm devices get on board 802.11b.
