RegHardware reports that the next generation of Intel’s Centrino platform, codenamed ‘Santa Rosa’, may well include 3G mobile phone network connectivity as well as the standard Wi-Fi, if allegedly leaked company roadmaps are to be believed.

… the Santa Rosa specification includes ‘Windigo’, the Centrino platform’s first wireless wide-area network (WWAN) add-in. The report claims Windigo will host GSM, GPRS and WCDMA/CDMA2000 connectivity, but cites no sources for this information. You might expect Intel to be pushing WiMAX rather than 3G, so we wouldn’t rule this technology out as an alternative foundation for Windigo.
