No, seriously, I shouldn'tve said every, as I have only had Powerbooks since the Ti series rolled out. Seems that all powerbookss ince then have had a problem.
As for Expresscard, it's not Cingular, it's Sierra Wireless, NovAtel, etc etc. While cards may be coming out this year (I'll believe it when I see it.) it's going to take YEARS to replicate the plethora of PCMCIA cards that're out. Reminds me of when we made the jump from ISA/VESA Local Bus to PCI. "Uh, what's a PCI card???"
Well, in Apples defence; they usually are the driving force behind many new technologies. When the imac was first introduced there was ONE USB printer (an Epson Stylus), the only USB keyboard/mouse were the ones Apple delivered with it. When the first iBook was introduced a WiFi card cost $699 (Lucent Wavelan), now look at the market...
Say what you want about Apple, but they do manage to push new technology a little faster...
