It seems that over the past few months, the cost of the usb to pcmcia adapters have skyrocketed. The average price increase is around $50. This makes them around the same cost as the Kyocera and Linksys EVDO wireless routers. Why pay for one when you can load a few computers with high speed? Not sure if this is a supply/demand issue, or only that it is such a niche need, they can charge what they want for the high speed card junkies.
Just ordered the Elan U132 adapter from this site http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=COM-038. It was the least expensive and the fastest as far as shipping out. I even checked ebay and found that they are $11 plus extortionate shipping higher there. This one cost $189, s&h just under $8.
