Why no Bluetooth/Wi-fi combo CF announced??

Is there a technical limitation to realize a CF that has both bluetooth and wi-fi? I don't think so.
It would be really useful...

Yes there is a technical limitation for both working simultaneously in the same device, you cant, as they both work in the same band. Probably thats why manufacturers have not been able to take out a product like that. In fact they advise you disable one out of the two while using the other device.

Yes it would be very useful if they can resolve it and also put some storage space on the same card i.e. CF or SD. But i donno what it will do to the pricing of the card it would cost more than half or equal to the cost of the PPC, like SANDisk sells its Wifi SD Card only for wooping $199 also the wifi + 128 MB CF Card at the same cost, will it be worth buying.....................?????????????????????????

No no I do not mean SIMULTANEOUSLY even because is about useless and battery killing... I mean a CF that you can use as bluetooth adapter OR wi-fi adapter

Not that I know of, since the technology is different I dont know if the manufacturers will build that kind of functionality and then how do you swap between the two, usinf the OS ?????, Microsoft will have to make changes to their PPC OS. anyway most devices come with inbuilt bluetooth nowadays.

Its like demanding a human being which can change from a man to woman and vice-versa :lol: .
