Intersil is working to add wireless networking to handheld devices.
The wireless equipment maker announced on Tuesday that it is working with SyChip to incorporate 802.11b wireless networking technology into a Secure Digital (SD) card for handheld devices.
The card, which should be available to manufacturers for testing in the fourth quarter, lets handheld owners add and remove wireless networking capabilities to handhelds from Palm, Hewlett-Packard and other companies that contain a slot for SD cards.
