So there’s already a card that let’s you use your PCMCIA card with a laptop with only an ExpressCard slot. Well, this is the inverse of such a product. The biggest plus (besides cost, a mere $50-ish compared to $110 for the inverse) is that it’s a slick form factor. Someone had their brain on full blast when they came up with this design, since it is really non-intrusive, which is key for mobile computing. Obviously, there are limitations as to the types of cards that this will support, since PCMCIA is a step down, technology-wise, from the updated ExpressCard. But it does work for the new ExpressCard aircards and any other ExpressCard using a USB interface (versus the native PCI express interface). The PCMCIA ExpressCard Cradle is available for preorder only (first shipment expected on August 14th) from Sewell. Image below.
