Wireless A/B/G card for Mobile 2003?

[jaredhmr]

I was told that pocket PCs and PPC Phones cannot use a Wireless A/B/G card due to the fact that this requires a 32-bit bus and that B-only cards only require a 16-bit bus. Apparently these devices, such as IPAQs and PPC Phones (PDA2K) only have a 16-but bus?
Is this true? Are they are any A/B/G cards available for the PDA2k/JAM or any IPAQ model?

Thanks

I've only ever seen cards based on 802.11b. To be honest there's little point in having anything faster on a PDA. An 802.11b connection will give you 11Mbps bandwith with a data rate of about 5Mbps if you're lucky. A really good broadband connection will only give you 2Mbps, so an 802.11b connection to it will be more than fast enough. If you're thinking about transferring files between the device and your network then yes, faster would be better, but you're not going to be transferring huge files anyway.

Or were you thinking about compatibility rather than speed? I don't know about 'a' but modern 'g' devices should be backwards-compatible with 'b' devices.
