Gateway and Verizon Wireless are teaming up to release a new netbook equipped with Verizon’s 3G mobile broadband service.
The Gateway LT2016u will be available starting October 4 on verizonwireless.com and in Verizon stores. The device is available in “night sky black” and will connect to the Web via Verizon’s 3G network.
The netbook will retail for $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate, which will be sent out in the form of a debit card. Customers will also have to sign up for a two-year Verizon mobile broadband contract. Options include 250MB of monthly access plus 10 cents per megabyte overage for $39.99 per month or 5GB plus 5 cents per megabyte overage for $59.99 per month.
The LT2016u features a 10.1-inch, high-definition WSVGA LED, a 6-cell battery that Verizon says will provide up to six hours of battery life, an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of memory, 160GB of hard drive space, and a digital media card reader.
