Wondering if anyone has seen this or knows if it exists
now adays, a apple ibook 12 inch is my primary laptop
and ofcourse, the xda 1 cannot connect to a laptop via blue tooth or wifi as a wireless modem
the ibook, lacks any PCMCIA slots for expansion cards, making a gsm pcmcia card out of the question for wireless access over t-mobile
anyone know if theres a gsm usb (or firewire for that matter) adapter that can accept a sim card and act as the usual pcmcia air cards ?
apples also lack serial, parrallel (more or less anything legacy they dont have), so those are out of the question also
its getting to the point where im paying $80 a month for cell phone service ($29.95 for 300 minutes, $20 for tmobile to tmobile , $20 for unlimited data access) , not including another $20 to tmobile for a hotspot account
if i can get a gsm usb adapter, id have my friend (works for tmobile) move my gsm account to a new card, and use that with the laptop, letting me absolve myself from a hotspot acct
any ideas ?
