Sierra Wireless to provide HSDPA for new Intel-based UMPCs

by Cyrus Farivar, posted Sep 29th 2006 at 8:40PM

For all you internet junkies out there (and if you're reading Engadget on a Friday night, we're referring to you), you'll be pleased to know that Intel's newest chipset for next-gen UMPCs are getting some 3G love from Sierra Wireless. This dovetails nicely with the announcement yesterday that Intel's Santa Rosa chipset would be also be getting some HSDPA action, but from cellphone giant Nokia. Intel also said that its newest ultra-mobile chip will be based on the Core 2 Duo, will only draw half as much power, and will measure just one quarter the size of the current chipset. Ok guys, we don't mind you shrinking the devices, but for the love of Gordon Moore, please don't make those screens any more squint-inducing.

Judging by the lack of posts

Are we now all pretending to be out having a good time?

That or it might be just me but the comments links on all the posts is broken.

When I go to click on them it doesnt work, however when you go to properties on it you see that the link is pointed as "www.engadget.com, www.engadget.com/2006/09/29/sierra-wireless-to-provide-hsdpa-for-new-intel-based-umpcs/#comments"

The page is rendering the comments links wrong from the database
