I was wondering if there are actually any express cards being sold and if so what and where?

I dont know why the slot is there if there arent any cards made yet.

Amen, bro.

Maybe if someone made a plastic sleeve insert, we could store our weed in there.

Or some loose coins, maybe an emergency ziptie.

If it wasn't so close to the useful CardBUS slot, you could stash extra thumbdrives or something in it.

As of now, you could buy, um, exactly nothing in the way of ExpressCard. It's expressly useless. I have no idea if mine even works.

At least the first CardBUS slots could be used with PCMCIA cards.

Well, you found a picture of a card.

When you find something I can slap my VISA card against, and put in my ThinkPad slot, then we can award the title of First Card.

So far it's all been tradeshow mockups and prototypes. It's been what, two years since the first CF Readers were "announced"? Where are they?

The first round of cards will likey be just repackaged USB2.0 devices anyway.

sunix has a very nice range of expresscards and they are not prototypes.the the expresscard tv tuners from avemedia and lifeview are also very interesting.

Hrm. Whoopee doodle. USB, Ethernet and parallel ports, just what my T43 needs.

I was hoping that maybe someone'd come up with memory keys in a ExpressCard form factor or something. TV tuner did someone say? That's a little more like it.

Sunix does have a Firewire card. Something the T's don't have.

True, Firewire800 in an Expresscard slot will be nice. But I already have one in my Dock II, so.... (yawn)

It's good product. Maybe the 1394 is good choice because the DockII doesn't have. Favorite it. Thanks!
