Sprint released an EV-DO laptop PC Card even though they have made no announcement concerning their anticipated EV-DO network roll out. The card release is reasonably leading people to think it will be soon.
EV-DO is the 3G cellular data technology that Verizon has had out for many months in a lot of major US markets (including NYC.) Very high connection speeds, but with a tiny bit of latency (like all cellular networks - really only a factor if you are playing on line games,) and a growing (but unconfirmed on my part) reputation for not working so well through lots of walls.
Engadget says Sprint will roll out it's EV-DO network in the third quarter. Prices should be competitive with Verizon (who already has a large EV-DO network.)
