I've seen PCMCIA card slots cleverly used to hold spare change, but this one left me scratching my head for a bit. The creators of this ExpressCard Remote figured that--since you are not using the slot most of the time, anyway--why not put it to use? The remote uses bluetooth to remotely control applications such as PowerPoint and Media Player. When you are done with it, you can store it back in the ExpressCard slot where it will charge and stay out of your way. I hope to see more of this type of thing in the future. I want all the slots in my notebook being used, including RJ11 and CD-ROM! Via
