pretec wifi cf <$21 shipped
« on: April 23, 2004, 08:30:17 pm »
Go to hsn.com, search for item 684027, \"Pretec 802.11b Wireless PDA Card with PC Adapter\" ($29.64), proceed to checkout, add coupon 130004 ($15 off $20, exp. 04/30/04), with $5.95 S&H ends up at $20.59

Please note that I found this myself and AFAIK it is not posted on any of the usual deal boards. I suggest we keep quiet about it until all ZUG members that want one got into the deal.

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered 2.  I already have a Socket card, but CF WiFi cards go for $30 as a minimum on Ebay.  It\'s pretty common to see one go for $40.

Open source RTS.  It's still in the very early stages, so testers are quite welcome.

Cool the pretec company seems to be well connected with the japanese market which made it possible for them to make their products compatible with the zauruses

Yeah, I bought my pretec card in Europs and the packing stated it\'s compatability with the Zaurus. I thought this was nice :-)
Still, we don\'t such prices as at hsn.com ;-)

Got one too.  This is great.  Even on Ebay, I haven\'t been able to get it <$35 in the past week.

Anyone know about the power usage of this bad boy?

proceed to checkout, add coupon 130004 ($15 off $20, exp. 04/30/04),

Hmm.  Was this coupon just for you, or for a specific group of shoppers?  HSN says that \"according to our records, you are not allowed to use this coupon.\"  Still might be a pretty good deal, though--about $38 shipped...

Any word on power draw...?

Here is the power draw:
Transmit: < 370mA
Receive: < 250mA
Standby:< 20mA
(from: http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/Mobil...ls/802_11b.htm)
For some other comparisons:
http://www.techgroup21.com/subpage.asp?subnavID=102
A quick comparison is:

Socket WL6000-320 / $128 Amazon.com
Idle: < 20 mA
Transmit: 170-280 mA
http://www.socketcom.com/product/WL6000-320.asp

Linksys WCF12 / $53 Buy.com
Idle: ???
Transmit: 250 mA

I hope this helps.

I think this coupon is for the first time customers only...

I am amazed it is still in stock. This means the information has not yet leaked from this board. Let\'s keep it that way so that more Zauren get cheap wifi...
