Socket WiFi SD Card : Low Power SDIO Wireless LAN Card

For unknown reasons, our Sandisk supplier has decided to stop selling the Sandisk WiFi/Wireless LAN SD card range in Australia. It's a pity because Sandisk were the only ones that had a SD WiFi card with 256MB memory on board. Have no fear! We now have access to the well known Socket brand who are also famous for their WiFi gear. Although Socket's offering does not have memory and is more expensive, it's a low powered card which translates to better battery times.
