iTWire recently questioned  Apple's decision to abandon the established PCMCIA standard for the expansion slot on its new Intel-based laptops, the MacBook Pro range, in favour of the new Expresscard/24 format because there were no wireless communications cards available in that format for any network standard. That is about to change.
San Diego based-Novatel Wireless has announced the industry's first CDMA 1x EV-DO and WCDMA HSDPA cards in the Expresscard/34 format. The company says it has delivered pre-commercial samples of both and that these are being developed "pursuant to agreements and purchase orders from the company's principal customers - laptop manufacturers and major carriers." These include carriers in Australia.

Novatel says its EV-DO ExpressCards are backward compatible with CDMA 1X networks, and the HSDPA ExpressCards are backward compatible with WCDMA networks, allowing uninterrupted use outside of a 3G coverage area.
