its really unfortunate for Apple's customers that Apple chose to use
ExpressCard/34. there is minimal industry support for the EC34 form factor.
it too short and narrow for smart cards. Apple should have stuck with PC
Card.
Has anyone heard if the new expresscard based wireless cards being tested at
Verizon and Sprint are EC54 or EC34 based?
