Maybe someday... Uh, sorry, but BULL: <http://www.clear.com/support/download> I see Macs with Clear USB sticks all over the place here in Austin Texas. Every single Mac user I've talked with about it says it's great. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

I am tired to pay to the telecom companies for any device that I want to connect to the Internet using 3G. Now, I have an USB 3G dongle that I can plug in every Notebook computer I have, and a 3G connection for my iPhone, and that is enough. What I want to have is a sort of iPad with an USB connector where I can plug the same USB dongle that I use with my Notebooks Computers. Thanks Juan I. Cahis Santiago de Chile (South America)

Juan- Davoud's MiFi would do the trick. I have a Cradlepoint MBR900 WiFi router that the Verizon USB dongle plugs into. This approach allows multiple machines to access the internet, and will support the iPad until a version is released that the USB dongle can plug into. Fred |
