AT&T Wireless recently announced yet another new addition to their lineup of 3G-enabled netbooks last week: the HP Mini 110. It will join the Samsung Go and the Acer Aspire One as one of the carrier’s new slew of Windows 7 netbooks. With so many mini-laptops now available from three of the four major wireless carriers, we thought you could use some handy charts to compare them all.

These netbooks will end up costing you $1,500 to over $1,700 when coupled with the data plan. Click through to see the current lowest price on each system. It may be $100 – $200 more than what the carriers are offering, but you won’t have the 2 year lock in to mobile broadband that only applies to one device.
