The Ubiquitous USB Modem?

Filed in archive Peripherals by Eric Hanson on May 11, 2007

Eric Zeman of the InformationWeek Blog is contemplating USB modems and the future of PC cards. His feeling: PC Card modems are useful because they're hidden inside the machine, but USB is better because it's everywhere - you can use the same modem in both your laptop and your desktop.

It's a nice theory (although I'm sure Eric's a little biased because he doesn't have a PC card slot), but as he points out, USB modems have one problem: they stick out. Not such a problem on a desktop, but on a laptop, a projection links

is like instant doom. Even if USB modems are more convenient, I don't think they're going to replace PC Cards.
