    Why is this man smiling?

    HP’s new Datapass service works with HP’s latest crop of WLAN compatible laptops and includes wireless coverage throughout most parts of the US (essentially anywhere you get Sprint access.) Download prices are pretty steep: $5 for 75MB and $30 for 1GB but they are offering 100MB free to new trial customers.

    HP is working with Peregrine to offer the service and it only works with select laptops with a 3G chipset.
