Surely you can not just put this into any phone and it just work. Phones without wi-fi in mind are programmed without wi-fi selection menus and software to manage these things. And even if you distribute software with it, what platform will the software be made for? And will the OS of that phone allow it to do this?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marshall Williams]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2009 4:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on No Wi-Fi on Your Phone?

There's still a number of smartphone that don't have SDIO, so I doubt any 'dumbphone' will have SDIO capabilities.  However, I wouldn't be surprised if most smartphone OS+Drivers can solve the "manage wifi selection" potential issue post-install.<br><br>Expansys has a MicroSDIO Wifi card that works on WM already (Spectec makes it and provides drivers for it).  Maybe these new ones will have drivers for Blackberry and Symbian OS too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dhaasgob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2009 7:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on No Wi-Fi on Your Phone?

Most cell phones these days can run java programs (specifically the Iphone clones). I think this technology if placed in a proper price bracket will bring the Iphone clone sales through the roof! I myself am looking forward to purchasing one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[anonymous]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2009 7:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on No Wi-Fi on Your Phone?

That functionality is part of the SD-IO standard which is supported by almost no modern device, mainly because almost nobody makes SD-IO devices any more. <br><br>If it's like the wi-fi enabled camera cards, it will automatically upload the contents of specific folders to the web by wi-fi, but that's it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sockatume]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2009 7:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on No Wi-Fi on Your Phone?
