i was wondering what you were talking about until i read ‘US,’ Europe and asia mobile telco markets are ripe now and devices are being offered with 3G built in. In America, the market isnt as advanced, is fragmented across technologies and has a high level of provider lock-in that doesnt exist in other markets.
The gadget guys have got it, its the US cellular market in general thats the problem.

When are you gadget guys going to get it? I have been waiting over a year for a MID or Netbook to actually come out. MID – Mobile Internet Device, how can you have one of these without 3G connectivity native, same for the Netbook as in Internet Book?? I can’t wait to go mobile, but what are the chances that there is wife? Free safe wire?? Next to zero. If I am in the car, there is no wifi, if I am in the store there is no wifi. If I cam getting coffee there is free wifi if I have ATT, but otherwise I have to pay. As soon as they release a decent device with 3G I am all over it. Also, you put too much into the ability to mod these devices. 99% of aren’t going to solder on a part, or hack the OS. Tell these manufacturers to actually make us something and release it in the US.

A MID? No.
They will start with 800Mhz and you might see things go up to 1.3 or even 1.6Ghz in a MID but above that and the Atom Menlow platform starts to get too hot for small fanless enclosures.

Greetings:

Do you think that at CES 2009 we will see a MID with an Intel Atom Dual core CPU?
