Vodafone Mobile Connect GPRS Data Card Prepay Service

GSM Internet Access in 40 countries

Simply slide the Mobile Connect Card into almost any laptop and install the easy-to-use Dashboard interface software for web and e-mail access outside the office.
Mobile Connect is designed for fast, easy and cost-effective connection to the Internet without the need for specialist I.T. support. Install the software from our CD-ROM, slot in a preconfigured Vodafone Mobile Connect Card, then just click and connect using Vodafone's high-speed GPRS network. The intuitive on-screen Dashboard lets you use your laptop to:

Does anybody know if the vodafone data card will work with the Apple Macbook Pro? The macbook has 'PCI Express architecture' is that where I would plug the vodafone GPRS card? Does the software work with OS X? or would I have to use bootcamp? Thanks
