While all the new smartphones coming onto the market this week are 4G capable, it won’t to too long before your laptop will be sporting the ultra-fast broadband connection as well. Companies such as Lenovo will be offering Sprint 3G and 4G wireless connection on their new ThinkPad laptops in the United States, especially with the new ThinkPad Edge coming out for the business oriented users.

While there are over 30 computers that come with a 4G modem that works with Clearwire, a Sprint backed carrier that uses WiMax, there are still companies out there that are a bit slow on the pass. Even Qualcomm came out today to announce that it is working on a chipset that would use LTE, or Long Term Evolution, which is a 4G competing company that Verizon and AT&T are currently using.

With the completion between 4G companies, you will find users questioning how their own personal and business computers would be able to connect to the broadband networks. Most people aren’t buying their computers from the mobile carriers. Instead, they are choosing to buy them from the PC manufacturers. Because of this, a lot of people think that there should be one universal aspect to the wireless broadband experience. With different companies putting in their own little options to cut out competing companies from being able to use their connection, it would seem that a universal base would be the way to go. For all those computers looking to get on the 4G bandwagon, you will have to wait just a bit in most places.
