Not to be left behind, Cingular says they'll have 3G next year, too

Just a day after Sprint said they were going to go with EV-DO so they could rollout their high-speed 3G wireless service even sooner, Cingular announces that they're going to speed things up and try and get their 3G network ready next year, too (they'd previously said it'd take at least a couple of years). The service will only be available at first to laptops (via wireless PC cards like Novatel's Merlin U520, pictured at right), but should start turning up on cellphones soon after.
