MacBook Air to Finally get Built in 3G?
SiliconRumors (formerly MacScoop) reports that Apple is preparing an update to the MacBook Air that could finally include built-in 3G wireless networking.
Apple has already released a minor update to the white MacBook today and there have been rumors that they be readying more update for WWDC. SiliconRumors was formerly known as MacScoop which has had some reliable information in the past.
The most notable feature our sources expect to be added to the new MacBook Air is a built-in 3G modem allowing connectivity to high-speed cellular networks.
The rumor site also suggests that the entry level MacBook Air could find a lower pricepoint between $1300-$1500. The possibility of 3G in future Apple laptops has been suggested before through both job descriptions and evidence in Snow Leopard.Apple has already released a minor update to the white MacBook today and there have been rumors that they be readying more update for WWDC.

I hope that this proves to be true. I think that it just makes sense to have 3G in the MBA.

And make it as easy to use like on the iPhone, automatic switch from cellular to wifi and back.
Dialing in is so last century.
Got my money and prepaid sim card ready... ;)

i dont know if it would be possible but think it would be a really good idea if you could link your iphone to your MB and then use the 3G internet that the phone gets. You would'nt have to pay any extra, you could get internet everywhere an on a desent size screen! :D

I think that this would be a great update to the line, but why do I have a feeling that this too would be tied down to AT&T?

It would make plenty of sense to have built-in 3G for a highly portable notebook like the MacBook Air.
