Sony netbook with 3G capabilities passes through the FCC

The folks at Wireless Goodness spotted FCC listings for two new Sony netbooks last night. There's not much information about the PCG-51311L or PCG-51411L at this point, but the drawing of the laptop's underside makes it look an awful lot lke a netbook — or a notebook with an enormous battery.

Wireless Goodness also notes that the computers use the same power adapter as the Sony Vaio W series of netbooks.

So what sets these new models apart from the older version of the Vaio W? A 3G modem, that's what. These little guys support CDMA and EVDO mobile broadband connections. They can also handle 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth.
