Yeah, I've been following what's been mentioned about that. Pretty
interesting, but pricey, even if a volume purchase can be worked out
(~750ドル). Odd that it's only 11b. I could justify cobbling together a
case of my own making, but I think the price of the device is simply too
much to justify it.
I don't know much about the availability of GPRS devices et al, but
would it be possible to retrofit one to an existing device?
Alternatively, CDMA modems are avilable in PCMCIA devices - how
about a MiniPCI version on a device. This is all guess work.
