Hmmm,
No, but I agree that the USB thumb that I have is a but of a pain...
Two thoughts.
1) I think that your PB has IR? If so you might be able to use Nitro?
2) There are several hacks that involve soldering a USB based
Bluetooth thumb into the Tibook. Look over at XLR8yourmac.com and
www.macbidouille.com.
The Macbidouille hac is especially cool since they used the BT module
that Apple had provided as "built in" in the ibook and hooked it the
port that used to support IR (they did it in a newer PB that excluded
the IR).
If you do find a PCMCIA solution that is nice please share!
