Jordan Bunnell has put the Air in his MacBook Air. He cracked the svelte case open and popped in an EVDO card. A Verizon USB727 Aircard, to be precise. Thanks to a few extra USB connections on the Air's circuit board, Bunnell avoided losing the sole external USB port.
The hack was not done without sacrifice, though. To make room for the card inside the tightly packed case, Bunnell had to remove both the Airport card and the Bluetooth unit. Depending on your point of view, the Mac is now either set free or crippled. Either way, we admire the hack, and the step by step instructions on Bunnell's site show that with some confident soldering, this is quite an easy project.
