Imagine the possibilities for smartphones! Blackjacks, Moto Qs, blackberries, all with WI-FI....
okay....
maybe in version 5 Micro-SD Smartphone Edition(TM), that will be possible. But until then, we can dream.

True - the possibilities are definitely interesting.
Although, the point of this card is to provide the wi-fi itself. In a smartphone, the wi-fi is built into the device, so the card would be unnecessary. What would be good is smartphone software (plus home computer -side stuff, maybe) that would do the same thing.
But yeah - the concept is definitely great for smartphones, but leave the wi-fi to the phone and make similar software for the phone, not the card, and just go with normal storage cards. Then you'd also have a phone interface to set up the system with.
(The plus of this thing, of course, is working in any camera (if I understand it right). And getting it to fit in, and be powered by, an SD card slot is dang impressive.)

I'm talking about a microSD card that'd give cellphones with no wi-fi, like the Moto Q and Blackjack, wi-fi.
