Its the iSpot for your g-spot.]]>Aug 4th 2010 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/
Still better than companies who only advertise and support one thing like Windows-only software and XBox 360 exclusive games, especially if that one thing is Microsoft.

$25 is pretty cheap and the speeds are decent but concerns would be 51 million coverage isn't that much (their coverage map misses out most of central America) and there's no details about usage limits.

At least the ball is rolling for high-speed mobile networks though.]]>Aug 4th 2010 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/
I'd prefer if it was named Clear 4G Spot.

Who gets a direct mention in the article title? Apple.

It will allow some Macbooks ect and disallow some iphones out of the box- go figure. It will also allow devices with Mac address spoof to Apple devices

Will it work with a regular laptop?
The iSpot device and the iSpot On-the-go plan were both optimized by CLEAR for Apple mobile devices. If you want to use other wi-fi enabled devices, take a look at our Clear Spot 4G personal hotspot.

I wonder if they somehow limit the device for Apple product like IPhone, IPad, or is a marketing thing to prevent normal laptop to connect to it.]]>Aug 4th 2010 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/
The only shitty thing from my point is view is that I am having to pay for another internet service on top of this ! (I am sure the rental folks include the cost of this crap service in the rent, and they aren't giving any freebies) !

Clearly, Clearwire is a joke ! I agree they have reasonably well informed tech support and customer service agents, but the service sucks !]]>Aug 4th 2010 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/
Is this near Chicago by any chance? I keep getting offers for Clearwire around here. I was considering them since AT&T DSL is wearing a little thin on me, but if Clearwire's that bad, I'll stay.]]>Aug 4th 2010 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/
Nope I am in Eastern WA (I work in Pullman). This is the scenario in Central WA too (Wenatchee, Yakima) and the service is bad in some places in the Seattle area too.

I was discussing this with a telecom engineer friend and he said that ClearWire uses 3G networks, given that there are only 4 providers (ATT, Verizon, Sprint, TMobile ? any more there ?) I wonder which ones they are leasing the towers from ? TMobile's service is the poorest here, may be they gave CW a good deal ;-) ...

But at 50$ / month I will have the 7Mbps Time Warner cable ... who need shitty stuff from home. I don't use net on the move any way !]]>Aug 4th 2010 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/For 3g they uses other companies radio tower, but they build their own tower for their 4g connection.]]>Aug 5th 2010 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 5:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Does anyone know if I'll be able to tether my iphone to my macbook]]>Aug 4th 2010 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/

What's NOT fine is the battery life. 4 hours. Even if that pans out, it's way, way less than all of the devices it's intended to pair with. Who wants to get something that only works for the first 1/2 to 1/3 of the time the main device is turned on? ]]>Aug 4th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/clearwires-4g-ispot-brings-wireless-broadband-to-apple-devices/Aug 4th 2010 9:46PM
