I think they've held off on that to force people to tether, which requires you give up your unlimited iPhone contracts, or to promote sales of 4G iPads.

Either way, one presently has to either use an external plug-in USB cellular card or use sucky tethering.

My 4G iPad is fast and has better signal than my phone, why can they do a 4G fucking macbook pro or macbook air?

grrrrrr.
