I can't seem to find any other website that will sell that adapter alone, this one wants a subscription to Sprint, given that Express card is very versatile, this might be a useful accessory for the Pandora. (driver permitting)

smart card hacking anyone?
 
Well, as far as I know, the Express Card Connector has a build in USB Connection, so I I could imagine this Adapter is just a pass trough for the USB Lines.

Yeah express card is pin for pin a USB interface, much like compact flash is pin for pin compatible with mini hard drives.

Incorrect.

There's also PCI-E pins in Express Card.

expresscards have two modes, usb mode and pci-e mode, some devices only need the bandwidth of usb 2 so most of them use the usb interface(480mbit/s). While other devices need more bandwidth so they use the pci-e mode(2.0Gbit/s)

A USB TO EXPRESSCARD ADAPTER WILL ONLY LET YOU USE DEVICES WHICH USE THE USB MODE NOT THE PCI-E MODE
