    I have an issue here.....I have a macbook also......and a Dell XPS M1210 soon to be the M1330....

    problem: Me and my sister have express Sprint Aircards since I work for Sprint Part Time they don't cost me for service. I use the aircard for with the Dell so I'm mobile with it everywhere enabling me not to worry about internet service with the macbook. but She has a ragedy old Toshiba I bought in April 2006 and was a handme down....and she currently uses it around town...her birthday is coming up and I know she would like a new notebook.....but she needs that expresscard for business and being mobile....she cannot stick to wifi hotspots....I know there's adapters for a expresscard to usb but do they work for macbooks I haven't tried it myself...I could get a USB aircard but that will cost me even more for the equipment. And no I'm not going to get the MBP just for the expresscard slot....anyone with experience and that dilemma can help me out? I don't want to resort to just a plain windows lappy... Thanks!

    Hrm, I sure don't. I would also check howardforums.com. They tend to deal solely with phones and related products (such as data service devices).

    But you could also ask in the gen hardware section on here as well. Since I'm sure if it's compatible with Apple, it would work the same as it does on windows.
