A new train of thought

Interesting that you note the role of the chipset in all of this. Let us not ignore Intel's potential to change the future roadmap. But I'm not so sure about blackspots improving on the trains. My experience of using a 3G datacard on a train is pretty woeful - far inferior to the experience of making a voice call. On my line (into London) I rarely get HSDPA, and for much of it, no coverage at all. It doesn't help by being inside a steel shell which shuts out the radio waves...
