[Clug-tech] Gigabyte T1028X netbook + WWAN

[Greg R. Smith]

Hi,

I am thinking about picking up one of these netbooks.. I notice that it 
has everything setup for a wwan option.. I can pick up almost anything 
parts wise when I go to grab this, and the wwan option is the one that 
really intrigues me.

I was wondering if anyone has

A) used one of these netbooks
B) Installed linux on one of them (any of the T1028 series)
C) Has any experience with wwan cards, that might be able to recommend a 
good one that will work with the lunix - I believe its an express card 
slot from what the specs say.. but I know there is one internally as 
well, im not sure if its also express card or what.

Also.. if anyone knows, would it be worth waiting for the flood of multi 
touch netbook tablets that are bound to come out with windows 7 in the 
coming months?

like the Gateway EC18T....

any input would be helpful.
