    hi! im just asking if such thing even exists? i went to bb and compusa, but all i could find are tiny adapters for usb... u just dont want even an inch to stick out... i want a flat thing, and xpresscard should be the solution, since thesize should be the same?

    Thanks!

    I dunno, google would answer the question fast I would think.

    Do note that they make really really low profile usb ones too so they do not have to stick out very far.

    Express card accessories will still have a head sticking out of your laptop. I'd go with the micro-usb adapter Vicious just linked.
