We already have a technology that's better: Ram Drive

Plus, you could outfit your laptop with a flash drive and run the OS 
completely off of it without having a single spinning traditional HDD. 
Google search this though. You'll find the power savings and performance 
are not worth the money.

TurboMemory is a joke meant to sell Vista.

Why waste a PCMCIA port on a bluetooth adapter? They come in USB form.
