Word on the street is that Sprint is about to commit the latest U.S. wireless provider, is the sale of wireless broadband-enabled netbooks. And through the street, I mean TechVi received an anonymous tip from a source with a pretty good track record. But I’m still so in the rumor bin file now.
Sprint has offered netbooks in the past. This summer the company together with Best Buy and HP on an HP Mini 110 for $ 0.99 you provide when signing up for a 2-year contract. But the offer does not seem to be valid.
According to tipsters, the program will be on 1 November Start in Baltimore, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Phoenix and San Francisco. These procedures are markets so that, if all goes well, it could be a wider deployment later this year or sometime next year.
There are no details about the computer models become available, or the pricing. AT& T and Verizon already offer subsidized netbooks to customers for 3G data plans in a number of U.S. cities.
It looks like the netbook is a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 with a 10-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive and HDMI output to imply, that this will be a version with an Intel Atom Z5xx procesosr and GMA 500 seems graphics.
