Always On Wireless makes WiFi for your dial-up

WiFlyer

We saw this before in the old Airport base stations and a D-Link router, but Always On Wireless (kind of a self-defeating name, you'll see) wants us to think they're making it new again with the WiFlyer, a $150 pocket WiFi router that has an integrated modem (and Ethernet, too). They're trying to tap both the dial-up home-user and road warrior markets at once, but you have to wonder what they're thinking—mostly anyone who still uses dial-up (a lot of America) almost certainly wouldn't just now invest in a multi-node wireless network for their home, and the road warriors are seldom without a hotspot (or integrated modem). Sorry guys, you're about two years too late.
