This is what every MacBook Air needs: built-in 3G wireless. In order to get this goodness into the MBA, Jordan Bunnell busted up a Verizon USB727 Air Card and soldered it up with the MBA’s unused USB controllers on the motherboard and used a little bit of voodoo to get power flowing to the card. There’s a little bit more elbow grease to get the antenna ports situated and the card crammed in there nice and properly, but as you can see, it pays off. Check out the whole nerdy process in detail over at his site, though our heart’s a little too faint to attempt the feat. [Get Listed Locally via engadget]
