Dell today announced it will begin selling a laptop with built-in EV-DO high speed data next year. The computer maker already has a deal in place to sell the laptop with Verizon service. Until the new laptop is released, Dell will resell Verizon's V620 EV-DO Card for use with current models. Earlier this year Dell announced they would build high speed cellular data into computers, but speculation centered around technologies such as HSDPA and WiMax. Dell is not the only manufacturer making an EV-DO play, Verizon is reportedly in talks with Lenovo (nee IBM) and has announced HP will be building EV-DO laptops as well.
