1) They supposedly do work with most WWAN cards - our tech guys have been playing with this thing and found surprisingly pleasing compatibility levels.
2) I have no idea how to tell what ExpressCards are "USB based," but I think it pretty much implies that any ExpressCard with technology "inferior" to USB (Classic I/O interfaces like Serial/Parallel).

I was surprised there wasn't a lot of hype out for this thing, though. It seems like our tech-greedy customer base was just screaming for the USB to PCMCIA adapter that came out and the recently released ExpressCard to PCMCIA adapter.]]>May 21st 2007 10:52PM
