Computer maker Asus has announced its Eee PC mini laptop is to get embedded 3G for the first time.
HTC's first UMPC, the Vista-powered Shift, will debut in Australia late this year, according to execs.
Wireless broadband provider Unwired is preparing a move to new Wi-Max technology from early next year by investing in 802.16e-programmable equipment.
Chip giant Intel has signed a deal with the GSM Association to help hardware makers include mobile SIM card readers and 3G connectivity in new PCs.
Look to WiMax and citywide Wi-Fi instead, says analyst.
Last week, I lamented the growing tendency to slam perfectly valid technologies as unsuitable for new uses, just because they prove to be unsuited for applications for which they are inherently unsuited.
Convergence can be convenient, but do we really want our phones to do everything?
A few weeks ago, I was in Shanghai, at the Intel Developers Forum. Intel was keen to show off what it hopes will be the bridging device between high-end mobiles and laptops: the mobile Internet device or MID. Intel was showing off a lot of interesting things at the conference. The MID, sadly, was not one of them.

At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.
3's new mobile broadband card is almost a no-brainer: It sprints along on 3's current 3G network and will kick into overdrive following the 3.6Mbps HSDPA network overhaul, slips into notebook ExpessCard and PC Card slots and to top it off, has exceptional pricing plans.
The INNOV8 is loaded with features and sports massive storage. If you're in the market for a mobile phone that can do just about anything the INNOV8 should be on your shortlist.
It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.
There's simply no better phone at this price. Fast web access, solid construction and fantastic social networking make this a must-see phone.
