GPRS/GSM SD Card Turns Your PDA Into A Cell Phone

"You can take an ordinary Windows PDA and turn it into a true mobile Internet terminal. In addition the [Siemens] CF45 can turn your PDA into a GSM phone for voice calls should you so wish."
Look for availability in Europe around the fourth quarter of 2003 (I think that means June of 2004 in tech speak ;) ) at a cost of around €270. No specifics were given on the operation of the device, but given that PDA's have very different locations for the SD slot, speaker and mic, I would think to make this universally appealing the SD card would have to have jack for a hands free headset, or better yet, support bluetooth headsets on BT enabled devices.
