Google Cr-48 gets Gobi 3G unlock for GSM support
One of the lucky minority with a Google Cr-48 Chrome OS notebook? Maybe you were one of SlashGear’s lucky winners  a few months back, or came up trumps in Google’s invitation-only  program. Either way, there’s a new Google update out which apparently  enables GSM functionality on the Cr-48′s integrated modem. Hexxeh  spotted the update to the Qualcomm Gobi modem, and quickly figured out  some instructions as to how to get it all to work on AT&T.

There are a few drawbacks at this stage, one of which being that no  log of data usage will be stored, unlike with the native Verizon  CDMA/EVDO Rev.A connection. That might make it easy to go over your data  limits each month. Full instructions here.
