AT&T has recently announced that it is preparing to expand its portfolio of embedded 3G mini laptops during the summer, and make them available in its stores nationwide and through other national retailers.
Among the manufacturers with netbooks and mini laptops that will hit AT&T store shelves are those made by Acer, Dell and Lenovo. The carrier said that their move is the answer to the growing demand for such devices. According to IDC, mini laptop shipments could reach 22 million by the end of this year.
Moreover, AT&T’s initial test of netbook sales from April 2008 proved as a success, hence by expanding the portfolio of available devices, they hope to boost sales even more.
Pricing and availability of the new devices will be announced at a later date…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
