If you found yourself scratching your head at the announcement
of an ExpressCard/34 slot in the new MacBook Pro, you're
probably not alone. Built by the PCMCIA association to take slot
dwelling expansion cards into the next generation, the
ExpressCard is smaller and faster than a PC Card, and can
support PCI Express -- all good things, but it leaves EV-DO card
users and others out in the cold for now. At least Y-E DATA of
Japan has their act together, since they've announced a 5-in-1
card reader for the new platform. Good for them, but let's hope
we see some other cards on the market real quick like, or Apple
could be losing a bunch of those mobile professionals who have
been holding out for Intel books for a while already.  [Thanks,
