Apple has not incorporated a provision for PC cards in laptops with  
12" and 13.5" screens, presumably because of space limitations. All  
the laptops (iBooks, Powerbooks, MascBook Pro) with 14" and bigger  
screens have PC card slots. Some even have two slots. For the 12" and  
13.5" laptops there are several wireless adapters on the market which  
will plug in to the USB 2.0 port. You will have to check with your  
cellphone wireless provider to see what will fit.
