For CF WiFi, you can't really go wrong with Ebuyer's own-brand card - it's
only £25 and seems to work fine for those of us who've tried them in our
PDAs

I don't know about the image viewing software, but to access the photos I
guess you could either share a drive on your main PC, or set up an intranet
with the photos on web pages, and view them with a browser on the laptop.
