I’ve used HSDPA mobile broadband technology before and I have to say, this is one technology that I have high hopes for. The ability to surf the internet as long as you have a mobile signal is a great boon for laptop warriors like myself who need access to the internet constantly. At present, the only way you can use HSDPA broadband is by connecting an HSDPA phone to a laptop or buying one of those expensive HSDPA modems.
But this will soon change with Ericsson’s announcement to include high-speed HSDPA technology in future next gen laptops from Dell.
Dell announced that beginning the second quarter of 2008, and will be the second major company to use Ericsson’s technology. Lenovo has earlier announced that it will use Ericsson’s technology. One cool thing about the Ericsson tech is that a GPS component is going to be built into the modules, which means location services is bundled with the tech.
