SanDisk <http://www.sandisk.com>, one of the top producers of compact 
flash and other memory cards, a few minutes ago at the Consumer 
Electronics Show <http://www.cesweb.org> publicly introduced the 
"world's first cards combining flash memory and wireless communications."

The "Connect" product line includes:

1.  A 128MB compact flash card with 802.11b.  Retail:  $129.95.  
Available March 2003.

2.  A 256MB secure digital card with 802.11b.  Retail:  $149.95.  
Available June or July 2003.

3.  An 802.11b compact flash card without any memory.  Retail:  $99.95.  
Available June 2003.

4.  An 802.11b secure digital card without any memory.  Retail:  
$99.95.  Available March 2003.

SanDisk will offer a 256MB compact flash card by the middle of this year 
SanDisk's Connect product line includes four products -- dual function 
128MB compact flash and 256MB SD card with WiFi.

The advantages are you don't need two CF or SD slots.  Also, there would 
probably be a power savings since you're not powering two cards.

Reporters who attended the press conference at the CES received a free 
802.11b compact flash card (no memory included).
