Amazon.com Product Description

Experience the speed and convenience of wireless networking on your PDA. The Linksys wireless CompactFlash card installs directly into your Pocket PC using a CompactFlash Type I or Type II slot. The user-friendly software makes it a snap to set up, and then you're ready to share data, printers, or high-speed Internet access over your existing wireless network at speeds up to 11 Mbps.

Use the wireless CompactFlash card to connect your PDA to the wireless network at the office, at home, or in any of the growing number of public wireless hot spots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels, and convention centers.

With the Linksys wireless CompactFlash card you'll get more of what you own a PD A for--information at your fingertips with total mobility.

The Linksys wireless CompactFlash card is compatible with Pocket PCs with a Type I or Type II CompactFlash slot; any ARM-, SH3-, or MIPS-based PDA running Windows CE 3.0 or later and Microsoft ActiveSync Utility 3.5 or later; and PCs or notebooks with at least a 200 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM, a CD-ROM drive, and running Microsoft Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me, NT 4.0 SP6, or XP.

See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies.

Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere -- without wires. Outside of the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports -- great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.

What Wireless Standard is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.

Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.

For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time:

  • 802.11b
  • 802.11a
  • 802.11g

5 out of 5 stars Another winner from Linksys.......2005-09-21

This card was very difficult to install. I had to:

1) Open the package
2) Power up the Zaurus 5500 (V3.10 ROM)
3) Plug in the Linksys card
4) Configure the network connection
5) Surf the net and get email

I wish everything in life was this difficult. :) The WCF12 seems to have very good range. It constantly indicates a higher quality signal strength than the built in wireless card in my Sharp SL6000 in any given location.

I'm not sure how I'd rate power consumption as this is the first and only wireless card I've got for my 5500. The 5500's aren't known for their battery reserves anyway. About 45 minutes of surfing and it's time for a recharge.

It doesn't block the stylus port either which is a big plus. So, sure I'd buy another for my Zaurus anytime.

4 out of 5 stars linksys card.......2005-09-15

The card took some playing around with but once I got all the software installed it worked ok. I just have to play around with the internet settings to get it to work.

5 out of 5 stars Rocks right out of the box!.......2005-09-08

First, kudos to Amazon's super speed. Even with "Super Saver" free shipping, I got the item delivered to my New York apartment in less than 36 hours of ordering, eight days before the estimated arrival (shocking, catches you off guard, doesn't it).

Unlike those here that the Wi-Fi card didn't work for, I had a great experience. I have an HP iPaq 2110, with Windows Pocket PC 2003 SE. The Linksys card worked right out of the box, with the software on the CD that was provided (i.e., I did not even need to go to their website to get the latest installation software). The available Wi-Fi networks were detected seamlessly as soon as the card was plugged in. The connection speed is great, and pages load up surprisingly fast (even heavier ones, like Yahoo mail, have exceeded my expectation). So far there has not been a single glitch. I had tried a Sandisk Wi-Fi card prior to this, with disastrous results (apparently Sandisk is getting out of the Wi-Fi business altogether). I could not get my PDA to recognize the card after it went into standby, and in general, connectivity was very erratic, and I had to send it back. Sandisk had blamed it all on "Windows Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition", which they had not guaranteed compatibility with. Neither had Linksys, but their card had no problem with the operating system. The power on the card turns off as it should whenever the PDA goes into standby, and 'wakes up' again when the PDA is turned on, all quite naturally. Thanks to Linksys for a product that finally works.

4 out of 5 stars WCF12 and a Sharp Zaurus.......2005-08-23

Reading a review about the WCF12 and a Zaurus 5500 from user on Amazon almost kept me from buying this device, but then I found a useful tidbit of information. As long as you have updated the Zaurus' ROM, the WCF12 will work right out of the box.

1 out of 5 stars If you have a Dell X5 - Don't buy this!.......2005-07-28

I have a Dell X5. It does not recognize this device at all. After contacting Linksys product support and waiting days for a reply, they were not even remotely helpful. I carefully detailed all the steps taken to install the device and the problems reported by my X5. They apparently do not take the time to read details and told me to follow the instructions on the shipped documentation. In my message I asked them if I should buy the Socket Low Power device and they recommended I do that if I can't get their product to work. I did just that after returning the Linksys to Amazon. The Socket Wireless works great and installed very easy.

As an aside, Amazon cheerfully refunded my money for the Linksys device! 5 stars for Amazon!!!!!!!

        Product Description

        Most scanner manufacturers only want you to consider resolution (dpi) and bit-depth when comparing scanners, but what do those numbers really mean to you? You want a scanner that is easy to use, provides business-quality images, and helps you be productive - without having to be a scanning expert. The HP ScanJet 5200C Business Series scanner with HP Intelligent Scanning Technology provides these benefits and more!The ScanJet 5200Cxi is a 36-bit color flatbed scanner for the PC that supports both a parallel and Universal Serial Bus port connection. It supports a 600 dpi resolution with 1200 dpi hardware super sampling that removes rough edges and increases sharpness and color accuracy. This process is performed within the scanner's software so PC performance is not taxed. The Intelligent Scanning Technology automatically enhances each scan for the best results from the first scan.This scanner features dual image scanning. This technology lets the HP PrecisionScan software scan images and text together in the same one-pass scan, then captures and optimizes the images. It knows the difference between text, color line art and graphics and automatically refines each segment for clear, accurate scans of complex documents. It also allows the user to send different elements of a scan to different destinations such as word documents or graphics projects. This scanner accepts documents up to 8.5x11.7 inches in size, including photos, pages with text and graphics, bound reports and even objects. It supports an optional transparent media adapter and automatic document feeder.
