Possible wifi / bluetooth solution?

Yesterday night I found a nice product Eye Fi, which is a merge of memory and Wifi module in SDHC form factor. Costs about 50 usd / 60 EUR, available in Europe on German Amazon/Ebay.

There are other companies suggesting pure WLAN SD solutions, the keyword is SDIO. Too bad there's no memory+wifi in microSD, only pure WLAN inside microSD - Spectec SDW-823. Otherwise I'd buy one for my DR800S.


Same SDIO bluetooth is available for 20 usd. Do not know if there's a solution memory+bluetooth.

Regarding drivers a bluetooth device should "just work", linux has a nice support for this. With wifi "it depends", hopefully the chipset is supported.

edit: hmm, 4 days ago the guys put on Sourceforge a patch for SDIO on 2.6.24 kernel. Even more interesting now ..
