ASUS is planning to sweeten the offer for its 8.9-inch Eee PC 901 model by adding a 3G card. The improvement is going to allow Eee PC users to download and upload stuff on the Internet at speeds of up to 7.2 and 2 Mbps, respectively. Eee PC users will only need to subscribe to a mobile broadband service, which they will be able to use with their favorite small-sized netboook system.
The news comes to confirm that Eee PCs and other netbooks should provide a better support for an Internet connection, including 3G. The ASUS Eee PC 901 equipped with the 3.75G card will offer users an alternative to all those standardly equipped netbooks, which only provide support for 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
Frequent travelers will particularly welcome the timely addition of 3.75G support, which comes as service providers around the globe are ramping up their adoption of 3.75G High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA). This means that they will be assured of a reliable, high-speed mode of Internet access in many destinations around the world.
Features an 8.9-inch LCD screen, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space, based on a NAND flash-based solution. In addition, the Taiwanese manufacturer is also going to equip the netbook with a Windows XP operating system. The 3G-enabled Eee PC should become available sometime in October.
