Awesome, March 2, 2006
By user (Rochester, NY)
This adaptor is great, especially for the price. Installation was as easy as it gets, right out of the box. I had it up and running through a WEP-enabled local network and surfing the web in 2 minutes. It locked on to the network in under a second and never dropped the connection. Both FrontPage and ClieMail ran fine. Speed is maybe 80% of what I get on my laptop running a 333 MHz. Celeron and a PC card 802.11b adaptor. Just be sure your PDA is on the (small) list of supported devices.
Negatives: it's not the sturdiest looking thing in the world. I wouldn't leave it in the Clie when not in use and I sure wouldn't want to drop it on the floor.
It does chew through the battery, but not any more than the backlight. I did a test with my UX40, with the backlight set at minimum (ie. not off entirely) and using CliePet's UnderClock app to slow it down to 96 MHz. This is a good combination of power saving and usability.
Then I got on the net and loaded pages non-stop. Starting from a fully charged battery, it ran 55 minutes before the first alarm. I was able to get another 20 minutes of intermittent use out of it after that. I consider that perfectly acceptable. With an EB40 extended battery you should easily be able to get 2 to 3 hours of use out of it.
Overall, a great add-on for a fraction of the price of a UX50.

What a ripoff!, October 5, 2005
By user (Philadelphia)
I bought this card for my TJ25, supposedly a supported device. But the problems with this card make it nearly useless:
- It comes with a web browser that doesn't work.
- Even if the browser DID work, it would only work for 30 days before you had to buy the full version.
- The only downloadable browser that works with the card is Eudora, which doesn't do anything except display text (you can't even fill in web forms with it, so webmail, searches, etc. are impossible).
- The card is designed to work with NetFront and CLIE Mail, software that comes with Internet-enabled CLIE devices... obviously not what you would have if you were buying the card. These programs are not available separately.
- The card wouldn't connect to either my wireless network or the neighbors', even though my PowerBook has no trouble connecting to either, no additional configuration required.
- While attempting to connect, the card would often stop responding, and then lock up the handheld.
Bottom line: if you want a web-enabled PDA, buy a web-enabled PDA. Don't buy this.

Very good but it has little problems., February 1, 2005
By user (Irvine, CA USA)
I got this card last month and I've been using it heavily. Its been great. Its sturdy and can has great range. There are a few problems though.
#1 There is no case for the card.
#2 The included browser only lasts for 30 days and its horrible. Luckily I had NetFront 3.1
#3 Memory Stick LAN software will occasionally error, but a soft reset will fix it.
Otherwise its a great little expansion card.

Excellent Piece of Work !, December 30, 2004
By user (M'sia)
Works like a charm, the Wi-Fi sniffer in the software is definitely a big plus ! You can get details of the connection i.e. connection strength, AP name and etc. Worth every penny !

FINALLY GO WIRELESS WITH YOUR OLD CLIE, September 9, 2004
By user
This item gives wireless capability to Clie users, and it's the only option if you dont have a wireless integrated handheld.
It is compatible with the models PEG-TJ27, PEG-TJ35, PEG-TJ25, PEG-UX40, PEG-TG50, PEG-NZ90, PEG-NX70V, and PEG-NX60.
The WLAN card works great and I recomend this for every Clie user who wants to go wireless
