Great deal on the Socket Low Power Wireless CF card for PDAs or laptops. I know there are cheaper deals out there on other cards, however this is currently the only card that has PocketPC 2003 drivers, and therefore the only one that can utilize some of the new wireless features of that OS. Some CF WiFi cards currently won't even run on the new OS (i.e., Linksys).

You must order through Staples over the phone using Ingram Micro special part number IM1160473. Staples sells it for around $160. Retails for around $140.

PM here (or anywhere else you can find it cheaper. Staples shouldn't charge you next day shipping charges, as special order items don't ship next day, but they will likely charge you the $6.95 ground charge.

After 110% PM and shipping the total was $124.24. I then used a $20 of $100 coupon (23648). I think that coupon expires today, so you may need to search for others. Total after coupon was $104.24.

There is currently a $40 rebate from Socket on this product here.

Total after rebate is $64.24 plus tax. Not bad considering this is one of the best CF cards on the market, and the only one with 2003 drivers. It also uses much less power than some of the other brands.

I have a Jornada 820 and one of the only ones that would work on there was the Netgear one. So I got it off of Ebay for like 53 bucks...

Then again, mine doesn't have the 2003 drivers (apparently).

Anyway, more info here.
