EVDO has started to pop up in almost all manufacturer’s laptop computers over the past couple of years. Now, Dell plans to enter the space by integrating EVDO into three models of Latitudes: the D420, D620, and D820 notebooks. The computers will have Sprint’s EVDO mini card built-in, so there’s no worries of having an external dongle hanging off.
Forget going to Starbucks, or connecting to airport Wi-Fi, because now you can even connect from your car on the highway (freeway for those of you on the west coast). Additionally, the 12 inch XPS 1210 is also getting EVDO slapped in. I’m going to say hold off for a while since the data plans are so expensive (unless it’s being payed as a business expense). It’s only a matter of time before the plans drop in price.
