My understanding is that 3G adoption here in North America has lagged Europe a bit, but I've seen that feature in some laptops/netbooks over here, as well as external 3G modems that plug into a USB port. The major challenge is getting a reliable signal in rural and small-town areas. That's why Kellyn's "wifi campground" use case is such a bonus. :)

Oh, well, couldn't resist... Before posting, a quick question: over in
the US does 3G aka "UMTS" play role at all? I doubt it since the first
iPhone didn't come with it... Some high end netbooks over here in Europe are equipped with a UMTS modem which at 3.6MB/s is more then fast enough 
for putty/ssh connections to servers.
