Found this online:
With tiny design and high speed, Huawei E220 USB Modem redefines mini fashion for the elite. The irresistible creation features the eye-catching sleek design and a great speed up to 3.6Mbps. Its USB cable can be used by both laptops and desktop computers. Put the chic near your hand and enjoy the charm of mini fashion. E220 HSDPA USB Modem “The chipset in the modem is actually capable of up to 3.6Mbit/s, which is the next revision of HSDPA, and of course it’s also completely backwards compatible with 384Kbit/s 3G and GPRS on 2G,” said Dave McNaughton, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Vodafone Australia. Importantly, the modem will come with software for both Windows and Mac OS X, which will be a relief for owners of Apple’s new MacBook Pro which has a new ExpressCard slot that can’t accommodate any of the wireless broadband cards currently on the market. | ||||||||||

This is very very interesting. I hope that they support OS X and the MacBook Pros soon. (Probably through USB)

so far only the globe gives out free pcmcia card (globetrotter and huawei ) and usb? (e220 huawei) so other than that, you have to buy your own.
