Netbooks are great piece of ware for the simple reason that they ought to be portable and can carry them anywhere. So, it is expected that with your netbooks in tow whereever you go, it is a must that you can easily connect online either through wireless network or 3G. Amazingly not all netbooks were released with the 3G option built-in. Some netbooks, like the HP Mini 1000 has the 3G features as an additional option which uses need to pay some good amount of money to have what should have been a default functionality.

Looking at the HP Mini 1000 which was released not so long ago, JKOntherun is reporting that HP is adding the 3G feature to their new netbook as an added option. The catch? Having the 3G feature on your newly bought HP Mini 1000 will cost you $199. This is in addition to the current price tag of the netbook – $399.

If that sounds good to you, and if you’ve been wanting to have the “always on” feature on your netbook, then we will not advised you to stay away form the deal. But if you decide to get the add-on feature, you’ll have a choice between Verizon’s EV-DO or AT&’s HSDPA options. There is actually a 3rd configuration option but it is not clear yet as which carrier is giving it.
