Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
true story:
yesterday, after the Touch came out, I was telling a woman here in my office about it. Mind you, she is hip to new things, and is married to a tech / gadget head. I mentioned that the new Touch has WiFi, but they did it better than what the Zune did. And her honest response was
"The what?"
I explained to her that it was MS's iPod killer, and she still had no idea what I was talking about, never heard of it.
The Zune is dead people. MS dropped the ball by only keeping it in the US all this time - oh, and by putting their name on it. But even if they had sent it overseas, I still don't think it would have saved it.
2008: the year the Zune died.
"the year the what died?"
Jeez, the iFanboys are out in storm today...
