[iPAQ] New Compaq 3G wireless pack -- seen this?

Howdy,

I've not seen this mentioned here before so I thought I'd post it (excuse me
if it's already been mentioned):

http://www.compaq.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/options/wireless_packs.html
(see the first item in the products table, "Part Number 219926-B21")

It's a GSM/GPRS (simultaneous data + voice) expansion pack.

This is _exactly_ what I've been hoping for!

Does anyone have a clue if there might be Linux drivers/software in the works
for it, if not can support be written or is it hopeless due to closed specs?

Looks like you can't use it and another PC card - bummer.

For those who don't want to look at the site:
