Acer Adds Embedded 3G Wireless Capability

It looks like Acer will be adding integrated 3G wireless networking capabilities to its TravelMate and Aspire notebook lines.

The first to have this feature will be the TravelMate 4260 and the Aspire 5650. The computers will sport the latest Intel Centrino Mobile Technology Duo platform, codenamed ‘NAPA’ featuring Intel Core processor Duo, Intel 945PM Express chipset and the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network connection chipset.

The TravelMate 4260 and Aspire 5650 will come with full WWAN connectivity through three-band GPRS/EDGE capability at 900/1800/1900 MHz and at 2100 MHz through integrated 3G Wideband CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access).

Will this allow for internet browsing wherever you can get a cell phone signal? It should be interesting, and when I buy a laptop, I want it to have as many different Internet connection abilities as possible.
