Liam from greenhughes.com has been musing once again on the combination of the Eee PC and the 3 Mobile Broadband dongle (you may remember a previous article from April in which Liam helped readers get the dongle working with the Eee PC) and has some interesting thoughts on how far mobile internet has come. Believing the Eee PC and the 3 dongle to be “two [of the] hottest gadgets this year”, Liam thinks the two together make “a whole new computing experience”, as he relates it to the kind of change we experienced in communications when the mobile phone was introduced to the masses.

Liam creates some interesting parallels between the way we use the internet and the history of using phones before mentioning how 3G pricing structures “are a bit more reasonable making it an option for a regular [mobile] internet connection”. The next stage, in Liam’s view, is integrating the dongle into the Eee PC so mobile broadband is ready to go straight out of the box. - this next step could, he concludes, “usher in a whole new age of convenience in computing”.
