    I bought a AAO D250-1042 in the US. This model does not come with WWAN or Bluetooth. I flipped the netbook to upgrade the RAM and take a look to the other two upgradeable areas (HDD and WWAN). I note that there is an empty Mini PCI-e slot and I would like to put it in better use. I have been researching of what type of modules I can install. My options are:

    1. TV Tuner- I found a Avermedia A312 TV Tuner.
    2. Broadcom BCM-970012 HD Enhanced Video Accelerator
    3. Azurewave has a GPS module (I haven't done in-depth research for this option)

    Are there other alternatives in the Mini PCI-e format? I know that there is the option of installing a 3G modem, but I'm not interested in adding additional monthly costs to my life right now. Any suggestions are greatly appreaciated.
