“The international standards body, PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association), which is overseeing the introduction of the cards estimates that 70% of the laptops introduced in 2006 will feature ExpressCard slots,” APC Magazine reports. “That’s good news for Apple users, as it builds the kind of market share manufacturers love. The first cards are now on the market. The PCMCIA’s expresscard.org web site lists 19 products in its database, although not all of them are Mac-compatible.”

Vista should be small enough soon. But the MBP would probably protest and spit it out.
how about adding some small heating elements found in a toaster and colaboration with kellogs for nano tarts. A small toaster for nano tarts.

The Novatel V620 is now arriving at Verizon Wireless retail and web channels and the launch is imminent. The devices have yet to show up on the website, but that should change in a matter of days.
Sorry, really meant “V640”, (not v620, which is type II), an express card fully supported by Verizon.
That was a funny headline and just cried out for someone to mention food items or genitalia.
Y’all beat me to it!
