    2 in 1? More like just 1 with an adaptor. Several (most?) express slot cards for Sprint have had those for a while. Nice little marketing gimmick they tried with it, though.
    ;D

    Typically, the PC Card adapter is sold separately for much more. And, some times, it isn’t really as portable as you’d like. A lot of the adapters are flimsy, some even have driver issues.

    Selling them as a pair makes sense… it’s a bit more than a marketing gimmick, more like a product enhancement.

    Yeah I agree. Most of the express card aircards I’ve been selling come with the PCMCIA adapter for a while. Not sure why this is a big deal now.

    They need to come with USB adapters too.

    Does anybody know major any Brick&Mortars carrying express card / PCMCIA adapters? ( Sharp built in DVR w/PCMCIA slot)

    Thank You
