SD Card - Radio FM Receiver

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

why would you want to bother? For about $5, you can get a radio (probably AM
& FM) that runs for many hours on penlight cells, while you use your
pocketpc for something else! Why spend the $25 or so for the radio card????

And before you jump on me for my post, understand that I LOVE gadgets, but
even for me there are times when you just have to step back and ask WHY!

Actually an SD one exists, but for whatever reason Ibiz (the guys who make
the CF one too) haven't ever done PPC software for it.

I've never been excited by these because they don't use the PPC sound
system. They have their own audio section, and earphone jack. They just use
the PPC for UI and power.
