Connecting to a 3G network on a Mac may be getting easier in upcoming notebooks. A credible source has stated that Apple is working on a PCI Express mini-card adapter that will bring WWAN connection to future laptops.
Apple is looking at a different approach to their WWAN card. Instead of putting it in the bottom of the notebook close to the board, they are wanting to shift the location to the lid behind the LCD. This would likely allow users to maintain a stronger signal in most cases.
Details such as which Apple notebooks will see the card first and which 3G networks will be supported are not currently available.

I vote for Apple to partner up with Sprint. Sprint has the best bang for the buck EV-DO network .

Definitely, I love how fast I connect on my Q. That’s the big thing I’m going to miss when I switch to the iPhone.
