Besides a USB EVDO modem being needed in the US marketplace, here is another free idea for any manufacturer to make a killing.
Create a ExpressCard/34 module that includes a PCMCIA adapter.
You plug the ExpressCard/34 into the PCMCIA adapter and you can then insert into any PCMCIA slot (laptop, KR1, etc.). Customers that upgrade to a laptop in the future that has an ExpressCard, can remove the PCMCIA adapter and be left with an ExpressCard/34 module to insert into their laptop.
Existing customer will probably want to purchase a device that they don't have to throw away when they upgrade their laptop (or have to purchase a new device). With the carriers having a strategy of locking customers in with 2 year contracts, this would give customers a built-in upgrade option, without having to purchase a new EVDO card.
If any manufacturer likes this idea, feel free to "borrow" the idea, your only cost is send me an evaluation unit when you have completed them
Imagine, a device like the one mentioned AND a USB EVDO modem, wow! _________________ EVDO :: EVDO News :: EVDO Antennas :: Buy Verizon :: Buy Sprint :: EVDO Amplifier |
