Sprint has been a leader in wireless broadband with EVDO cards that bring broadband speeds to mobile devices. They ve announced the upcoming release of the world s smallest EV-DO Rev., the Ovation U727, which carries 4GB of data to provide on-the-go mobile broadband access to any device with a basic Type A USB port. The technology, developed in conjunction with Novatel Wireless, works on the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network to give users speeds of 3.1 Mbps for downloads and 1.8 Mbps for uploads (although we know that the real times are significantly slower than these peak time performance speeds). Nevertheless, this does bring faster speeds to Sprint mobile users who will be able to get the U727 starting next month. Trying to stay in competition with Sprint, Alltel is expanding their EVDO market.
