Last week, LG Korea has officially unveiled its entry into the netbook market with the Xmini Note netbook. Officially announcements says that Sony Ericsson will be providing the netbook mobile broadband modules based on HSDPA. For those not familiar, HSPA is the world’s most widely commercially deployed technology for mobile broadband.

HSPA will provide DSL-like experience wirelessly with true mobility. As of today, there are already more than 207 commercially deployed HSPA networks globally. Providing those service on future LG netbooks will definitely add to the appeal of LG’s netbooks. And hopefully spark the interest of consumers to buy them.

Sony Ericsson is anticipating that 50 percent of notebooks and netbooks that is expected to ship by 2011 will have a built-in HSPA mobile broadband module. This would enable netbook users to take their broadband connections with them.
