ExpressCards are the new replacements for PC Cards, formerly known as PCMCIA. There are not too many yet in the American market. They come in two sizes, ExpressCard/54 and ExpressCard/34. Those numbers refer to the physical width of the cards. Right now there are EVDO and WAN wireless cards available.ExpressCard. There are also SATA interface cards and others:

Only the newest laptop models can accept them.

Hmm.. thanks for clarification. I guess i was confused.
I thought ExcpressCard and PCMCIA are the same thing.

So if there is nothign else besides EVDO/wireless card right now...how is it i saw some TV Tuner cards that slide into laptop? Are those must have been PCMCIA card?
