CF 2-Way "Pager"?

There are several 2 way pagers on the market. The Blackberry has been out
for a while and now Motorola has a new model Skytel is selling. These
units are small and run for up to two weeks on a couple of AAA batteries.

Has anyone come up with a CF card version of a 2 way pager yet? It would
seem to be a natural. No need for keyboard, screen, batteries or CPU.
Just put the RF components and a minimal CF interface into a CF card.
Since CF slots seem to be pretty much standard on new PDAs, the only thing
a company would have to do for each platform is write drivers.

The Palm platform has had a receive only pager expansion card for a couple
of years.

One less gadget hanging on your belt...
