wireless card?

I have a powerbook, 17" 1.33, a few yrs old.

I am looking for a wireless card so that I will have access to the net anywhere I travel.

Cingular, which I use for cell coverage, says that they have nothing that will work and theres nothing they can do.

A friend told me he heard Verizon has a card that, although not technically for a Mac, still works when its plugged into a mac.

I called Verizon and they say that the Kyocera 650 will work for a mac. The cost is 80 dollars a month since I dont have service with them.

Has anyone had any experience with a wireless card? 

PS. Do you know if a new macbook pro with intel will use a pc wireless card while running with the pc/windows application?

Re: wireless card?

When running Windows, the MacBook will be like any other Intel laptop running Windows, so there should be zero issues.

Why on EARTH would you want to run Windows on an Intel Mac?! ;-)
