Re: Corel NetWinder as a wearable?

The netwinder really looks like an attractive machine, maybe not the
ideal wearable but it seems you get a lot for the money. One can see
it like this: you can start using it as a wearable and when you've
found a better or more suitable machine as a wearable you can always
use it as a router, fileserver, bridge, nameserver, car computer,
kitchen oven control or you name it. It is rather complete and just
to plug in.

I considered buying one and maybe test this as a wearable, but I have
some considerations for that. 
1) Is it possible to attach some PCMCIA boards in some way?
   If I can not attach a wavelan and cellular phone it makes not much
   use for me as a wearable.
2) If there is no PCMCIA possibility, are there any small TP ethernet
   to Wavelan bridges available?
3) It would be nice to use the video input for framegrabbing, but is
   this input/output only NTSC?
   Most cameras here in Europe produce PAL.
