The good news is that these cards are supposed to be coming soon. I think I saw that Sandisk would have one in March.

The bad news is that it appears the Axim is not enabled for SDIO, i.e. the SD slot on the Axim cannot handle an input/output device like a WiFi card. Perhaps this will change or can be updated through a ROM update, but it seems that the general consensus is that SDIO is not supported. In fact, a thread on the actual Dell customer forums had the moderator asking what SDIO stood for when the question was posed. He never came back with an answer, but I have seen in a number of different places that it is no.

Here is a good technical article about SDIO that mentions the Axim directly.
