 My Zaurus has been sitting around unused for a long time. Every
time I think about putting it into use (or getting a new one like
the SL-C3100) I stop because it doesn't have any good built-in
wireless capabilities. I need both Bluetooth and 802.11b.

One solution would be to find an SL-6000L (with integrated
802.11b) and then use the CompactFlash for Bluetooth. The 6000
series seems to be dead though.

I'm leaning toward trying a clamshell Zaurus. If I could just
get an 802.11b/Bluetooth CompactFlash card I'd be all set. That
doesn't seem like an unreasonable request; I've seen SD cards
for 802.11b and Bluetooth (separately) so combining that
functionality in a CompactFlash card should be easy, right?

Well, I haven't found any such device in my periodic searches.
Am I missing anything? I'm surprised there isn't such a device
already.

(I'm also thinking about an Olympus R1018. Then I'd just have
to add a Bluetooth keyboard and deal with the low resolution
and tiny memory.)

Thank you.

Is this just an unrelated advertisement or does it have something to
do with what I requested?

Ok, the next time I'll keep my opinions/helpfulness to myself. No, I'm
not a rep from Computergeeks. I read your post, remembered seeing a
compact flash bluetooth card on that site (I do visit that site daily)
and posted a tiny url link (the original link for the page was over 300
characters.)

Had I asked for help finding a simple CompactFlash Bluetooth card, I
would have appreciated it. (Of course I'd also be kicking myself for
asking for help because those cards are so incredibly easy to find
that it certainly wouldn't have warranted a Usenet post.)
