jkOnTheRun —
... We've just received word from Novatel Wireless that they are introducing a product in the first quarter of 2009 that is just such a device. The MiFi is a router the size of a credit card that makes it a one-click proposition to share a 3G connection via WiFi. It is battery operated and Novatel states it gets over 40 hours on standby and up to four hours of active usage. The portable nature of this tiny router makes it possible to leverage connectivity in a vehicle on trips. No word on pricing from Novatel but they intend to distribute the MiFi via ...

... for a traveler in need of Internet access, but finding one can sometimes be a challenge. Mobile broadband networks run by major carriers are more ubiquitous, but they can be a hassle to install and use, and adapters aren't available for many devices that support Wi-Fi. So Novatel Wireless has come up with MiFi, a line of gadgets that will let you create a Wi-Fi hotspot using a mobile broadband network.

Novatel's MiFi = Wi-Fi Wherever You Want It
InformationWeek - All Stories And Blogs —
... , Dec 9, 2008 10:35 AM [image] There is a reason why Wi-Fi is called a wireless local area network technology. Users must be within range of the hotspot (typically less than 300 feet) in order to use it. The MiFi from Novatel packages a 3G radio in a small, compact device that will create a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot (almost) anywhere you need one. The idea here is not new. Junxion Box rolled out one of the first mobile hotspot products years ago, and Kyocera offers a similar device. That didn't stop Novatel from taking the idea a little bit further. The MiFi is first and foremost ...

Verizon’s MiFi Mobile Hotspot

Novatel Wireless is introducing a mobile router with cellular backbone called the MiFi 2200. It will be available through Verizon Wireless starting in mid-May ($100 with two-year contract, after rebate). David Pogue of the NY Times has a review:
It’s a little wisp of a thing, like a triple-thick credit card. It has one power button, one status light and a swappable battery that looks like the one in a cellphone. When you turn on your MiFi and wait 30 seconds, it provides a personal, portable, powerful, password-protected ...

Hands-On With The MiFi Personal Hotspot
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... still looking into this but this review is about the hardware, and that part works great.
There’s one more trick the MiFi has up its sleeve. It has a microSD slot, and you can access this storage over Wi-Fi or USB. It’s a gimmick, but a useful one if you need it.
The MiFi is by no means essential, but once you are used to it, its hard to give it up. I’m already sad about sending this one back, and that’s a pretty high recommendation.
