Mini 9 now offered with HSDPA — in the U.S.
It's Dell with the first mass-market U.S. netbook you can just order with no-nonsense 3G internet. From Lilliputing:
The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 has won the race to be the first netbook to include an optional wireless broadband modem and service plan in the United States. While Acer, Asus, Dell, and others have been working with wireless carriers in Europe and other countries for a few months, most netbooks sold in the US have just a WiFi module for wireless connectivity
It's $60 a month, and the upgrade itself costs $125. In other words, you have to get a two-year contract, but you don't get a subsidy on the cellular modem: not a great deal.
