We have this on up over at Sewell Direct, though I don't know where those guys are getting the $32 price point. Maybe we're getting our SIIG stuff through the wrong channels. To answer some questions, though:
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.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
