Here is the reviewers conclusion on the Socket WLan card.

“Still, once you have the card set up and happily talking to your network, it’s a joy to behold. PocketPC 2002 is truly an internet-enabled PDA operating system, and it shines when attached to a high speed wireless network. I’m able to login to MSN and AIM (client available for free), send and receive email, web surf, control my desktop computer, and sync the device, all while sitting in a meeting or watching TV on the living room couch.”
