Here is the card in the wild: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/freitasm/1519 and here is a test in my local mall: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/freitasm/1554

If you want something for the UMPC, go for the USB options. Tne vodem for example: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=6732 is a USB HSDPA device and comes with all drivers in its flash memory, ready to use – no CD to install drivers, perfect for those UMPC.

That would be my only concern for my UMPC. For now using my cell phone works fine. Would be cool to finally have something to pop in my express card slot on my macbook pro though.. Will have to keep an eye on this one.
