Taiwan’s Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) has revealed plans to launch a low-cost laptop to compete against Asustek’s Eee PC, but which uses 3G (third-generation mobile telecommunications) networks to keep users connected wirelessly.
Elitegroup plans to allow users to choose from several versions of the Simply Smart ECS G10IL laptop family. The top-end model comes with a 10.2-inch screen and takes advantage of tri-band mobile phone networks to keep users connected to the Internet wirelessly with HSDPA and HSUPA (High Speed Downlink/Uplink Packet Access). The technology ensures users can tap into mobile broadband from just about anywhere mobile phone coverage is offered.
The G10IL also connects to Wi-Fi networks, carries a 56 kbps analog modem on board for wireline Internet connections, supports Bluetooth wireless and comes with a four-in-one card reader. More at Yahoo.
