Sprint Novatel’s MiFi 2200 Portable EV-DO Router Coming Soon!

Sprint will be rolling out their new EV-DO router where you can make any location a Wi-Fi hotspot.  Now, this still will be very slow since EV-DO is barely fast enough for one computer.

The technology should be an ISO standard by end of this year and that means it will probably take another 2-3 years before we see it as a consumer product bu

What Else is New? Bush is still being a Miserable Failure!

Uh oh, can we impeach Bush before Obama officially becomes President?
