I started working on that article close to a year ago and decided to can the idea as it just wasn’t coming along as I hoped it would. With that said, I have had quite a bit of interest in that particular article and it just may show up soon. Stay tuned!

A little bit quicker to get going and you don't have to make another iTunes account, but updates are manual. FYI: For those who have Installous, it is available for download.

If you don’t want to jailbreak your phone, or simply prefer the expresscard to a tethered device, you will likely have to look at putting the flexrate data plan on your iPhone sim. It should work for both the phone and the 3G card once you put the APN settings in.

(i.e. you don't get any unexpected overage charges?) I have an iPhone 3G, and have a Merlin card that I only use occasionally and I don't want to pay for an additional data flex rate plan on the iPhone - I'd rather combine them into my iPhone SIM and put the SIM in my expresscard when needed. The people at Rogers said it won't work because the Flex Rate Plan on the Expresscard is "different" and that I would get unexpected charges. <br/><br/>If it still works I would add the Flex Rate to my iPhone and cancel the data plan on the Expresscard.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/><br/>Cadman.

Have you had more success? I take it that you signed up for an upgraded Jott account ($3-4/mo) in order to email Jott notes to Evernote, is that right?
