asap18 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 i think they have usb to pc card adapters. But usually the broadband software does not run on mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollcage Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Cellular companies should be releasing express cards soon, a few companies already have them out (T-mobile i think?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non sequitur Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The new macbook does not have an ExpressCard slot.. Does anyone know of an adaptor to connect a Cellular Broadband expresscard via Firewire or USB bad4fun i was actually doing some research into a new phone and i saw that the palm treo 700p thru verizon has a DUN to go over bluetooth or usb. you can also hack/change settings in a few other ones like the samsung (the one im considering) or the no-name verizon one to get bluetooth/usb dun. you just need to pay for unlimited data access, which sucks ass. its like an extra 40-45 bucks a month. i might get it, i still dont know if i have the money.
