Laptops without PCMCIA ports

Following on from the post I made this weekend about people who’ve got themselves brand new laptops that don’t have a PCMCIA port for 3g data cards, Rachel sent me details on this product release from a few years ago:

It’s a 3G FOMA compact flash card — fits directly into a compact flash slot. 

I wonder if you could get a USB compact flash reader and then plug this in?  Heh.  Probably *NOT*.   Useful for PocketPCs or anything that has a compact flash capability.

Thanks for pointing this one our Rachel.
