The speeds should double those of 28Mbps-capable networks launching in North America, Germany and Italy. At Mobile World Congress in February, Ericsson successfully demonstrated speeds in a similar network operating at a peak of 42Mbps.

The game has been updated for the iPhone platform and will have several new features to take advantage of the devices capabilities. No release information has been detailed yet but several screen shots have been released.

Two versions, known as the PCG-1P1L and PCG-1P2L, have been through wireless testing with the government body; the PCG prefix is known to represent Sony's VAIO portable line. More crucially, the computers match typical netbook dimensions, at approximately 9.5 inches long by 4.5 inches... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/01/sony.vaio.netbook.exposed/ Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/03/3g.enabled.macbooks/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0810/carphonewarehouse-macs-05.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's next move in terms of MacBooks will be to add built-in 3G connectivity, says analyst Neil Mawston of Strategy Analytics. Mawston contends it is a "logical next step" for Apple, and that the technology could be added to the Pro, Air, and/or regular notebooks. The incentive would be not so much outstanding demand, as the ability of carriers in the US and Europe to sell Macs to people who h... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/03/3g.enabled.macbooks/ Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/30/att.lenovo.3g.notebooks/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/samsungx360.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Carrier AT&T and PC builder Lenovo say they have collaborated on a project meant to drive down the cost of 3G broadband on notebooks. Buyers of Lenovo notebooks in the ThinkPad T, X and SL series will get a free 30 days of AT&T's DataConnect service, if they sign up for a two-year contract; more critically, models with the necessary Ericsson module will not cost any more than a regular version, w... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/30/att.lenovo.3g.notebooks/ Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/25/verizon.anti.iphone.tract/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/iphonemyths.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Verizon Wireless is distributing a guide to sales agents in a bid to retain customers tempted by an iPhone 3G, a leak claims. The sheet, labeled "3G iPhone Myths," attempts to challenge key selling points of the iPhone, which in the US is carried only by AT&T. The guide notes, for instance, that AT&T's HSPA (3G) network covers "only 40-50%" of Americans, approximately half the amount handled by ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/25/verizon.anti.iphone.tract/ Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/14/fix.for.iphone.3g.drops/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/iphone3g.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Unusual reception problems with the iPhone 3G are indeed attributable to Infineon's 3G chip, say two anonymous sources. Described as "well-placed," the individuals claim that approximately 2 to 3 percent of iPhone traffic is suffering from connection troubles, which may also include continual shifting between 3G and 2.5G networks. By comparison, the normal rate of dropped calls for AT&T is abou... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/14/fix.for.iphone.3g.drops/ Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/21/att.full.3g.by.late.june/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/iphone-black.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T will have a complete HSPA-based 3G cellular network by the end of June, the company has announced on Wednesday. The carrier plans to have added the faster, more upload-driven HSUPA component of the spec to six of its remaining 3G markets by the end of next month, giving those areas DSL-like access speeds over wireless: users can anticipate real-world speeds of as much as 1.4Mbps downstream a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/21/att.full.3g.by.late.june/ Wed, 21 May 2008 15:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/13/ericsson.dell.hspa.laptops/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/dellhspa.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Swedish telecom company Ericsson is collaborating with Dell, in a bid to put HSPA modems into the latter's notebooks, the companies have announced. HSPA is one of the most widely-used forms of 3G cellular broadband, and typically supports download speeds of up to 3.6 or 7.2Mbps; in the United States, AT&T runs a national 3.6Mbps network, and T-Mobile is expected to offer a rival service of some s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/13/ericsson.dell.hspa.laptops/ Tue, 13 May 2008 17:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/10/ericsson.on.wi.fi.hotspots/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0710/lafonera.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The end for Wi-Fi hotspots may already be in sight, claims the chief marketing officer of telecom multinational Ericsson. Speaking today at the European Computer Audit, Control and Security Conference in Stockholm, Sweden, Johan Bergendahl commented that at least in Europe, cellular broadband is growing so rapidly that it is surpassing any rate ever achieved by either mobile or fixed voice networ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/10/ericsson.on.wi.fi.hotspots/ Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:15:00 GMT
