Oooooo, just what I have always wanted, a clear expansion sleeve. I don't know why I have a think for seeing the insides of comptuers (not like you really "see them work"), but this looks rather fun. It's a clear CF expansion sleeve kit (take the hardware from yours put it in the clear one), and I think it says it is only 4980 Yen (which would be less then $40 USD...$60 to our good friends in Canada). I wonder fun they sell to people in the US, cause I wouldn't mind picking up one of these.

It seems to be more of the form factor of a silver slider. While it doesn't add any function, I have always liked see-through phones and such. Gives it that special "Geek Cool" look. :wink:

Yes, it doesn't add any function, but nor does the silver slider....

Well... The silver slider allows Compact Flash expansion. But my understanding this is just a case for your existing expansion pack. Am I right there?

The Silver Slider is just a custom case for the hardware, that is what this is. Only you do it instead of someone else. It looks like they send you an empty sleeve, and you move over your hardware into it. It is an empty CF expansion, and you build it from another sleeve.

Maybe I am still stuck in the old days, but don't you send in your CF sleeve to get a Silver Slider?

It looks like a silver slider esq sleeve. The side rails are cut down and if you look closely, you can see the raised CF slot.

You can get a new one from www.pdamotion.com without needing to send in your old one.

Thanks Jason. I was still thinking that you had to send your sleeve back in to get a sliver slider.

And how long to wait until the Bluetooth CF expansion pack will appear in SilverSlider form?

Ooooh... I can't wait.... Gadget freakery is taking over...!

I would also be interested in a CF sleeve not in silver slider form, that includes an extra batter for the whole unit (not just for the expansion like in the PCMCIA card sleeve).
