PowerupMobile in the UK is offering an Asus eee PC with their T-Mobile broadband package, an extremely interesting move from an industry that usually focused on subsidizing cellphones. Sadly, the models they’re offering don’t have WWAN — you use the T-Mobile USB dongle, though, so it’s basically the same thing — but it’s definitely something to consider: could 3G cell providers start offering discounted or free laptops with built-in WWAN just like they offer phones?

That’s not a half bad idea. They might also try bundling some serious laptop rebates in with the plans – I don’t necessarily want an eee laptop, but would love a rebate for another major manufacturer (if I ever need a new lappy, these old ThinkPads make diamonds look soft). That might get a little complicated, though.
