An SDIO wireless card is a combination of an SD card and an I/O device. This is increasingly found in electronics devices. Devices that support SDIO (usually PDAs like the Palm Treo, but laptops or mobile phones too) can use small devices designed for the SD form factor, like GPS receivers, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth adapters, modems, TV tuners, RFID readers, digital cameras, or other mass storage media such as hard drives.

Many other devices have been proposed but not yet implemented, including fingerprint scanners, SDIO to USB host/slave adapters (which would allow an SDIO-equipped handheld device to use USB peripherals and/or interface to PCs), magnetic strip readers, combination Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/GPS transceivers, cellular modems (PCS, CDPD, GSM, etc.), and APRS/TNC adapters.

SDIO wireless cards are fully compatible with SD Memory Card host controller. When an SDIO card is inserted into a non SDIO-aware host, no physical damage or disruption to device or host controller will be caused. SPI bus topology is mandatory for SDIO Wireless cards, unlike SD Memory. Most of the SD Memory commands are supported in SDIO. SDIO cards can contain 8 separate logical cards, although at the moment this is at most a memory and IO function. SD slots will take SD cards only. SDIO slots will take SD cards and SDIO cards.
