The new laptops are coming out with ExpressCard slots, which can be a nice change; too bad all the companies that produce PC cards must not have gotten the memo because the number of ExpressCards pales in comparison to all the PC cards out there. Well now Duel systems ended that hardship with the release of the DuelAdaptor. What this does is it allows you to plug in a PC card in one end and then the other end plugs into your ExpressCard slot. Duel Systems brags about how this is faster than PC card to USB, and if they are right, this could be a high selling product. Many people already have old PC cards, and many are also looking for ExpressCards for their specific need and can’t seem to find them. If people find out about this thing, the PC card manufacturers won’t have to switch over to Express, they can just sit on their cans and watch everyone change for them. The DuelAdaptor is set to come out early next month for an estimated price of $119. As of right now this is a good fix for those of us with ExpressCard slots, but everyone else should get on it with this and start making ExpressCards for us; we can take so many wires on our desk. — Nick Rice

CES 2007: Duel Systems Brings PC Cards to ExpressCard Laptops [Gearlog]

Hate not having a mouse when you’re traveling?The Mogo mouse is a mouse that can be stored and charged inside your laptop’s PC card, unless of course you have a newer Dell notebook, in which case you can’t because you have an express card slot. This mouse dominates over the other Bluetooth mice in the industry because of its slim design and easy storage. The Mogo mouse is compatible with both PC and Macs, as long as they are Bluetooth enabled without any extra software. A plus for those who don’t have bluetooth is that you can buy a USB Bluetooth dongle that will support the mouse. The Mogo mouse comes with a built-in rechargeable battery, which charges when the mouse is docked inside the PC card slot. There is a kickstand on the mouse that transforms the piece of plastic jammed in your PC card slot into a mouse. The Mogo mouse also has 2 finger pads to make you feel right at home with a regular mouse. For $60, its a little expensive, unless of course you travel all the time, in which case this would be a major steal. — Nick Rice
