Chrysler has announced a new service called uconnect web utilizing EVDO, the 3G cellular network that will allow any Wi-Fi equipped device in a car a constant, rolling Internet access. Basically this is an in-car "hotspot" that will be made available as an option in all 2009 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles costing $449 with service set for $29 per month with a contract.
The range for the hotspot will be about 100 feet around the vehicle. If you are interested in this feature now take a look at my review CradlePoint PHS300 Allows WiFi Almost Anywhere.
The CradlePoint PHS300 costs about $149.99 [Amazon] and can run on its built-in battery of from your vehicle's 12 volt lighter plug. An USB modem and service is required from Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or Alltel.
