I wonder if we could use this to record???  I use an SD Card in my HD-P2 (with adapter)...  I would be kewl to be able to tape the show and wirelessly dump the WAV to my laptop out in the card...

I've wondered about those.  Probably would record fine, but I imagine the the wireless transfer may be excruciatingly slow.

edit- If so, the laptop should pop up an image of an old DAT deck doing a real-time SPDIF x-fer... or maybe a slow-creeping zombie   :zombie02: (shameless excuse to use the new smilie)

I have one for my camera.  Works great for that, but it does not simply transfer all files via WiFi to the host PC.  There is software and it only xfers photos and video.  I seem to remember a few threads somewhere (not here) discussing other options to transfer files and some discussion of a linux build that used ftp for file xfer but noting that seemed to be functional.
