PCMCIA cards can use up a lot of power. The power to them is
typically switched as needed. Something lower power might be nice for
the OS.

Have you taken a look at the new US Robotics Pilot? The memory module
in it has the OS rom and all the RAM on the same module. Every time
you upgrade memory you get the latest OS.

The pilot is tiny palm top that fits in a shirt pocket. It comes with
graffiti. The software developers kit allows writing new applications
for it. The pilots are really selling. USR is really having to gear
up to keep up with demands.

The USR home page is http://www.palm.com/
