Angie got one of these the other day and WOW is it cool. I have a Verizon air card now that works very well but the difference here is that thing will provide WiFi access which is incredibly cool.
Given that it does everything an equivalent device does AND has the WiFi...
A whut?!
Couldn't you have just bridged your air card to your wifi card for free?
Also, Verizon limit at 5gb/mo without absurd fees, unless you found something I don't know about.

You guys use Verizon? I have come to find their services a bit overpriced.
Yeah, I haven't found any good over-air services for someone with..heavy usage. Heh.
You kiddin'? He don't have to worry about price!
Yeah I know.
I thought about getting one of those for the times I am up your way too Brad. Just cannot afford those rates. I need a plan for unlimited use for around $29.95 a month. Anybody seen anything like that?

Industry standard is 5gb bucket for $59.99 - VZW is no more expensive than Sprint or ATT for WWAN data from a nationwide carrier.
The MiFi has almost all the functionality of a WiFi NAT router (except for arbitrary port forwarding). It supports up to WPA2, has MAC filtering, and DOESN'T require running a laptop to host the WiFi connection - which is why it's better than using ICS to share the aircard. And it's the same monthly rate as the aircard, and not teribly pricy.
FWIW you can get daily access for $15/day - if you only need occasional access it might be cheaper overall than a 2-year contract. Requires you pay full-freight for the device though since you won't get the subsidised price w/o a contract.
I never said who I thought was the cheapest. They all overcharge.
I was thinking about adding MiFi to my account for my house but the 5 gig cap will go real fast and I would constantly have to monitor it.
