RE: Re: OT: WiFi CF Cards

["Tony Butler" <tony@xxxxxxx>]

That's a lie - not much in it - I was comparing the symbol price with
the one from the Socket website - 177 quid!
The expansys price is more reasonable.
Looking at these two cards, I wonder if they are actually the same but
rebadged?  Trouble is I can't see anything on the Symbol website about
the idle mA drawn by their card......
