Dell and Lenovo launch enhanced 3G wireless notebooks

Dell and Lenovo have both announced that they have signed a deal with Vodafone to allow their laptops to carry connectivity for Vodafone's 3rd generation (3G) and GPRS wireless technologies.

In the future, they will also tap High-Speed Downlink Packet Access technology. This will greatly improve wireless broadband speeds (over 1.29Mbps in tests) and will be rolled out by major carriers starting this year.

These new wireless enabled 3G devices should help speed up the adoption of data services on high speed wireless networks. The carriers need the pick up if they are ever going to see a return on the huge investments they have made in 3G networks.
