| State of the Art - With a Private MiFi Hot Spot, Be Online Wherever You Like - NYTimes.com by janelane at  3:25 pm EDT, May 20, 2009
 |  | What if you had a personal Wi-Fi bubble, a private hot spot, that followed you everywhere you go? Incredibly, there is such a thing. It’s the Novatel MiFi 2200, available from Verizon starting in mid-May ($100 with two-year contract, after rebate). It’s a little wisp of a thing, like a triple-thick credit card. It has one power button, one status light and a swappable battery that looks like the one in a cellphone. When you turn on your MiFi and wait 30 seconds, it provides a personal, portable, powerful, password-protected wireless hot spot.
 Super cool. |

 Super cool.
 I love the form factor, but it was better when it was this. |
