When this came out I ran right out to buy it at my Cingular/ATT store. They told me they no longer sell this card. In fact today, if you ask or go to the Cingular web site, you’ll see they have no “official” ExpressCard slot solution.

They are in beta testing of a new card, the Option GT Max 3.6 Express.

Unfortunately however Cingular did not contract for the Mac drivers though they are available!

I’ve taken this pretty far within Cingular/ATT and Option but all I got was “we’ll look into it” or feel free to buy the card on the open market (read full retail) and we’ll give you the URL for the Mac Drivers. They company that makes the card will not give you the Mac Drivers if you buy the card from Cingular/ATT.
