AT&T will soon lunch the Option GT Max 3.6 Express ExpressCard and later in May the Sierra Wireless AirCard 875U mobile broadband USB device. They both use AT&T's 3G BroadbandConnect service and are able to download a 1 MB file in about 15 seconds. These devices can be used in 125 countries, where AT&T is present.

The Option GT Max 3.6 Express works in newer notebooks with ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 slots, and features a flip-up antenna and uses Advanced Receiver Technology for improved 3G performance.

HP and Cingular Wireless today announced availability of the first notebook PC in the United States to feature built-in global mobile broadband capabilities.

The HP Compaq nc6400 Notebook PC with integrated Cingular Wireless UMTS/HSDPA-based technology allows business professionals to connect in more areas at broadband speeds to corporate networks, email and the Internet without being tied to a wireless hotspot.
