HP has launched a new prepaid mobile data service that is available on select HP EliteBook and ProBook notebooks through the HP DataPass that uses the 3G Sprint network.
The service uses Peregrine Network Pay As You Roam technology and does
not require a contract of commitment. After a free trial, additional
megabytes can be purchased as often as needed. The service requires a
Qualcomm Gobi chip embedded in an HP notebook computer.
Every new
HP DataPass account receives a free trial that's good for 50MB or 14
days. Service costs $5 for $75MB, $10 for 100MB, $20 for $450MB and $30
for 1GB.
