But if drivers/cards/implementation in general could be sorted out, WiMax sdio, cdma/sim, gsm/sim, etc, etc. Possible or no?
I have a wifi SDIO for my Palm Tungsten T5.. it sucks.. a lot. At least I CAN do wifi.. but because it's so small, it's awful at catching signal (comparatively, my N800 catches even better than my laptop's wifi--impressively so!) and it uses a slot that I would otherwise have preferred to use for memory.

I would prefer to avoid SDIO and instead promote something with a better form factor for a radio device upgrade. Also--if it's big enough a DMA slot with decent integration, it can be used for other things (expansion of all sorts) likethe geek port on the BeBox, for example. After all, this appears to me to be mainly a geek's tablet.
