We've talked about the svelte silver -- and a black version is in the works -- MiFi card and of course CES gave us a chance to put one to work. And, well, what can we say, it works as advertised. While we've not had a chance to speedtest it, hide it in the darkest corners of the temporary Engadget Mansion or otherwise abuse it, we know we want. Launch is expected sometime midway through 2009 on some US CDMA carrier with two GSM / HSDPA variants coming shortly after. Short video of it doing its blinky thing after the break.
LOL, I can do that with my Sprint Touch Pro today!
you still have sprint?
Me too, Sprint rules. My Touch Pro + WMWiFiRouter = 3G anywhere. Screw the haters.
This is a good idea though - my dad uses my old Mogul (he used to use my old 6700) solely as a wifi hotspot. That is the phones only purpose - to be the modem for the house. Something like this could simplify his operation, although I'm sure the ESN is gonna be marked so that it will have to be attached to a $59.99 mobile broadband data plan....
