Google, Verizon promise free 3G data with purchase of Chrome OS netbook
Google is really trying to sweeten the deal for consumers with the promise of free 3G data on Verizon Wireless with each purchase of a Chrome OS netbook.
According to Engadget, buyers of a Chrome OS netbook will receive 100MB of free 3G Verizon data each month for 24 months.
100MB isn't exactly a large data allotment, especially considering Google touts Chrome OS as something "for people who live on the web." Nevertheless, it's still a cool freebie. And if that's not enough (which it likely won't), unlimited plans start at $9.99 per day. (Might be useful for that day you're stuck in an airport.)
