For those of you who don't know what Mifi is, allow me to use the almighty C&P.

"Novatel Wireless last week announced it will release the MiFi, a portable wireless router that will deliver wireless 3G data network access to multiple users in a small area. Much the same size as a credit card, the sleek looking MiFi will let users select access to EVDO or HSPA high speed data networks.

This "cloud" of high-speed Internet connectivity that MiFi offers can be shared not only between users, but between devices such as laptops, cameras, gaming devices and multimedia players."
Thoughts anyone?

Sounds like they're just making 3G wireless. That's why I use Bluetooth. Does anyone really want to share a 3G connection with multiple users? Sounds like a niche product.

With 3G being expensive enough already (well it sure is here in Australia), I don't see why I'd want to share it around! Could be helpful in the right place, though.

i think the actual target for mifi is the ability for cities to offer broad scale wifi connections....sort of like wimax...but less powerful... i don't know that they're actual target is the end user....but i could be wrong on that....

there are a multitude of "3g" routers out there that you can get and just slap one of the PCMCIA cards from your carrier into....
