I've been thinking about adding a wireless card myself. The Sandisk WiFi+256meg SD card seems to be <$100 and it appears to be a very low power card so it might not drain the battery too much.

I've got a wireless network with my cd collection converted to mp3s on a hard drive. (Actually it's only about 50% converted, but I'm working on it.) I can listen to songs via a neat USB FM transmitter right now (it looks to the computer like it's a USB speaker set so it's easy), but I would like to be able to use my PDA as a remote control to pick songs, pause, skip, etc.

If anyone does that or other neat stuff with wireless, be sure to start a thread and let us know how it goes.

Enjoy your new setup Zire!
