Portable Wi-fi is here

Want a better way of getting Internet on the move? How about carrying your own wi-fi hotspot in your pocket?

3 has just launched MiFi, their mobile wi-fi modem service. Get a Mi-Fi modem for a one-off £70, and use it as a portable wi-fi 802.11 access point. The modem is a combined 3G data modem and wi-fi access point, and it connects to 3’s data network, re-broadcasting Internet over standard wi-fi to any wireless-enabled device in range.

A nifty product, and one we’ll be featuring in one of our upcoming podcasts, no doubt.
