The QuickerTech ExpressCard is a 802.11n/g ExpressCard with the honkingest antenna in all the land.

This excellent little article goes over… → Read More
AVerMedia has released a Hybrid TV tuner ExpressCard that relays HD and analog content to your laptop.

Ah I love it when stories compliment each other. Like this GlobeTrotter HSDPA card and the Cingular upping its HSDPA capabilities to 7.2Mbps. It’s a thing of beauty really. The GlobeTrotter ExpressCard supports 7.2Mbps HSDPA lovage. It also supports UMTS, EDGA and GPRS for those hard-to-reach places. Additionally, and here’s the cool part, it’s said to be Macbook Pro compatible. → Read More
