VeriZon is working on getting EvDo chips built into LapTop-s.
Despite the promise of wider coverage, Verizon customers may not see the same speeds with their [EV]-[DO] cards and embedded chips as their WiFi counterparts. While 802.11 consistently hits speeds of 11mbps, Verizon's promise of as much as 700kbps for its [Broadband Access] service is actually more comparable to AOL dial-up, Sam Bhavnani, an analyst with Current Analysis, said.
hmm and how tightly is a card tied to a single provider? How easy is it to switch? Compare that you can't take your Cell Phone with you when you change carrier....
Jan'2006 update: HP announces their partnership with VeriZon.
