Best of all it is not married to one carrier so coverage is nearly nation wide!

I'm sorry, but my bull**** meter is going off the graphs....

 

Huh? Not sure why. They already have agreements with auto dealers and auto rental company Avis.

I have sampled a similar product made by a security company called SonicWall. The difference between them was that the SonicWall device is open to 3g card where this one will have it built in.

I forsee these folks being able to take advantage of the GPS capabilities in cellular devices and being able to provide a media center to 802.11 users that are permitted to use the device.

As they say this will be the bees knees. I likely wont be an early adopter but only because i want to wait an see what they add to the product after the first release.

PC builders have been doing this for a while look up stomp box and I think junxion. Cool DIY stuff but doesn't have the finished box this one has.

It wont be long before this is being showcased in someones car at a car show playing xbox360 online against another event attendee.

 

Interesting...

 

I thought the company's website says you don't use PCMCIA cards?

 

This just seems like a simple wifi router w/ a cell connection. Would be sweet if coverage is good and costs are reasonable. You could then do internet radio or free xm if you already have an account.

$50/mth doesn't seem reasonable to me.
I can get that from my Cell phone provider.

And $399... argh!
