Hey guys. i recently bought a cisco 350 PC card for my jornada 720. I got a great deal on it but when I received it I found out that the connector on the CISCO 350 was wayyy to big to fit in the supposed PC card slot in the Jornada. When I reread the manual it says I need an adapter. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can not find any adapter at all! And when i look for a CF Flash wifi card, it turns out they're 70 bucks! I would buy one if it was like 20 bucks at most. So either an adapter or a cheap flash wifi card.

There are lots of CF WiFi cards in your price range on eBay right now:

are you talking about a Cisco Aironet 350?
I have used one of these in the PCMCIA slot on the Psion Netbook Pro:
it sticks out because it is much longer than a regular PCMCIA data/memory card, but it works.
It's only a cosmetic issue: it's longer than the PCMCIA slot, but most wifi cards do stickout like that, (whether CF or PCMCIA), because it gives greater opportunity for the antenna reception if it's out in the open, I guess.
Did you try to use it yet?

You wouldn't believe it. The guy before me had this adapter jammed in it. After taking apart my Jornada I removed. The cisco fits in perfectly. The only issue now is how to find and connect to netowrks

so I guess it is an Aironet?
If so, it has a standard NE2000-compatible chip;
on the Psion Pro it did not need any drivers,
the user only had to go to the control panel to get things working in Windows
hope it will work the same for you
sorry I can't help for the details of the interface,
I don't have a Jornada 720

Correction - Scratch NE2000! ... embarrassed by sleepy mistake!

Anyway -
the Cisco Aironet 350 is recognized with drivers already included in Windows CE.NET 4.2.
I don't know about that for the OS on the Jornada 720.

No it doesn't. The OEM may have added them but 4.2 does not come with Aironet drivers. You can get them from the HCL.

Handheld PC's do not support Adobe Flash, and therefore don't support Youtube, and there are no special applications for playing Youtube videos on Handheld PC's (like there are on Pocket PC's). One alternative is to use a video player, like Wodeon or TCPMP, copy the url of the video to the player and you can play it. I've never tried this as I have never got onto the internet with my Handheld PC's, but it might work.

Partly correct. H/PC Pro and H/PC 2000 do support Flash, though only older versions (Flash 3 through 5) that cannot stream video from the Web.
