| One thing That might be possible... is to simply take the card out of these and plunk 'em into a different laptop 
From what I've read, the Aspire One's have a port on the bottom for the card. No need to disassemble it completely like you have to for a RAM upgrade... |

No need to disassemble it completely like you have to for a RAM upgrade... The card itself should easily come out. However the SIM holder is separate and you would need an antenna in the other laptop if you wanted to use the card internally. Neither should be a big deal to add - but it's not going to be plug-n-play.
What I'm more interested in - is adding 3G to a non-3G Aspire One, which is apparently possible.

Most netbooks sport a mini PCI-e so you can just install yourself any of these: »www.mobilx.hu/mobile-datacards/e···les.html

[BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.

From what I understand you cant take the card out. It will be integrated into the laptop. |

kudos:2 | I don't think so. Assuming they haven't changed the overall layout for the 3G version, the layout on the non-3G versions suggests that the 3G card will be a mini-PCIe card which you will be able to take out. Either way I don't see why you'd want to buy a $350 Netbook (or $99 w/ $1440 contract) just to pry out a wireless card which you can easily buy elsewhere for something like $50. Moot point.
