Comments on: Acer Aspire One to come bundled with 3G. Dell and HP to follow suit? http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/09/08/acer-aspire-one-to-bundle-3g-in-taiwan/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 08:32:07 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: kelly http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/09/08/acer-aspire-one-to-bundle-3g-in-taiwan/comment-page-1/#comment-272958 kelly Mon, 08 Sep 2008 19:29:15 +0000 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/?p=5056#comment-272958 the inspiron mini 9 does have integrated 3g...the link in my post above, points to a previous post by Zach that talks about it. what I tried to point out in this post is that the Japanese flyer is the only 3g bundle (subsidy pricing when you buy it bundled with a 3g data plan) we have seen for the inspiron 9. Like you said, it is expected that Dell will partner up with AT&T or T-Mo to offer something similar in the US. the inspiron mini 9 does have integrated 3g…the link in my post above, points to a previous post by Zach that talks about it.

Seemed very strange, but the thought was that maybe they were in talks with ATT/T-mo and didn't want to advertise it until they had a deal worked out for marketing? I don't know if anyone truly confirmed the 3G in the Mini 9, but supposedly that was the case.

Number one would be the reception. Two would be the advancements in the cards, I always like having the newest card when AT&T gives speed bumps across their 3G network. That and I use a lot of different computers. I have a MBP and a Lenovo T61P - I would have to pay two different data cards. I was always skeptical of integrated 3G cards.
