Expresscard
My new E1505 comes equipped with an Expresscard slot. Great but no one makes them. Well I did find a few but the point is, the selection is meager.
I did find a TV tuner touted by the Expresscard website (www.expresscard.org) but when I went to the manufacturer's website I read that it was NOT available yet. YET....
So do any of you more experienced folks have any clue as to when this great technology will actually be available?

The answer to all of the questions (asked over and over and over again on these forums) is "Soon"

Elan speeded up manufacturing due to the large number of laptop manufacturers shipping laptops with expresscard slots. Demand for the device is heavy, because it's currently your only option if all you have is an expresscard slot.

web site describing differences in cards:

web site elan gave me to purchase U116 (16-bit cards)

web site elan gave me to purchase U132 (32-bit cards)

Here is what they said about delivery: Due to the huge shortage caused by Dell's removal of the PCMCIA slot from their Inspiron XPS laptops, the factory has pushed out delivery to their distys. We will not be receiving the first batch until the last week of March. We are shipping out the U132 in the strict order in which pre-orders have been received on our website. Your credit card will not be charged until it ships. You may monitor the latest known shipping status at the same link/location.
