Re: [Wlug] GPS

      The problem no device maker wants to admit is that having a usb protrusion sticking out the side of a laptop is dangerous.  

The expresscard and sd card slots at least recess into the laptop for safety.

But thanks for the feedback!

Great idea, but it has an sd card reader built in!
I went looking for other expresscards and there don't seem to be too
many varieties out there. I guess, as a port, it just couldn't compete
with USB.

It's a lenovo s10, and I really like it.  My only complaint is the keyboard
is a little smaller than other netbooks, but other than that it does it all!

I have a great little Lenovo netbook and I haven't found a good use for
the
expresscard 34 slot
I've been researching GPS devices but can't find an ExpressCard 34 style
GPS
device.
I could get a normal GPS device with a screen and junk, but that would
defeat the purpose of my search.
Does anyone have experience with using a laptop with a GPS device?
FYI: I already have maxed out the ram and have a 150gig hard drive, plus a
webcam and bluetooth...if anyone can think of a better use of the
Expresscard, I'd like to hear that, too!
Ciao
If it has no SD slot, you can get an expresscard34 multicard reader
for cheap. It's a boon if friends/family/self have lots of cards and
cameras and whatnot.
