Vodafone brings 3G to MacBooks via USB
Some people call it compatibility; we call it cheating. Yeah, Vodafone's freshly-announced Mobile Connect USB Modem fits into your MacBook Pro a little better than their PC Card does, but we'd sure like to see a real, honest-to-goodness ExpressCard operating on Vodafone's UMTS and HSDPA networks, and we're guessing we can find a few Pro owners to agree with us. Granted, non-Pros will need to kick it with the USB model either way, but at least Vodafone's glossy white capsule matches the MacBook a little better than its metal-clad sibling. The device hits the streets this fall, but Bluetooth dial-up should hold folks over in the meanwhile -- and if the thought of a white tumor on the side of your 'Book pains you, ya might be looking at Bluetooth as your permanent solution, too.
