Nova Media intros Mac-ready GlobeTrotter Express 7.2 card
It's refreshing to see high tech wizardry with Apple flavor hitting the shelves; if you have a hankering for travel and need fast connectivity no matter where you go, the GlobeTrotter Express 7.2 Ready has you covered. This Mac-compatible ExpressCard will bring triple band HSDPA / UMTS -- up to 7.2 Mbps -- and quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE to your Book, and thanks to the "Zero-CD" feature, drivers and software are auto-magically installed from the card's memory on first use (no worries, Windows users, you are covered here as well). The simple "launch2net" software provides instant detection and configuration of 300 network providers around the globe, meaning less time spent fiddling with APNs and passwords and more time online -- we know your provider's support team and accounting depts. will love this feature. The Nova Media site shows this as pre-order right now for roughly $400 US, but it should start shipping in early May.[Via Macworld]

I don't have a problem with wifi, thanks. Wifi also doesn't cost me $400 plus an insane activation fee, monthly fee, and that lovely fee to pay for the Spanish American war.

I can see T-Mob in the UK picking up this baby in the next few months.

Why would it need drivers? Just present to the system as a modem, and you'll be fine.
