Asus confirms 3G Eee PC coming this year

According to PC World, an Asus representative said that the company will be adding 3G in order to compete with rival Netbooks that are set to see similar upgrades. We’ve heard rumours elsewhere that WiMAX might be offered on the Eee.

It would be interesting to see how such a notebook will fare in the market, since data plans greatly vary from country to country and unlimited ones are pretty expensive to begin with in the first place. These 3G-enabled Eee PCs will feature internal 3G modules for HSDPA and HSUPA (High Speed Downlink/Uplink Packet Access), and it will most probably go on sale bundled with 3G contracts from a service provider.
