Macbook Air Internal EVDO Broadband Card Mod

Posted by timothy on from the evdo-wants-to-be-free dept.

Sastira writes "Jordan Bunnell has successfully modded his Macbook Air to use an internal EVDO Broadband card. In order to make everything fit, he had to sacrifice the WiFi and bluetooth cards, but considering the portable nature of the laptop, it is a small price to pay for being truly wireless." (You'll need to scroll down past the sketchy-looking top section of that page.) Sastira also links to this InsanelyMac forum thread on the mod.

    Lets call it truly wireless when no cords, including power cords, come in the box, or are required, ever. I also look forward to the day that batteries charge themselves through magic.

    If apple wanted you to have verizon access... they would have built it in. If it's not there, you don't need it.

    Besides, if you want a computer that you can modify then you don't deserve to own a Macintosh.

    Nothing to see here. Go back to your boring gray PC please.
