The Novatel MiFi 2200 is going to be available anytime this month. It is a little wisp, 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 cell phone. When you turn on your MiFi and wait 30 seconds, it provides a personal, portable, powerful, password-protected wireless hot spot.

The MiFi gets its Internet signal the same way those cellular modems do (from Verizon’s high-speed cellular data network). You can do e-mail and the Web, watch videos and shuttle a lot of big files or you can settle for other deals for fee. What the MiFi does? It converts that cellular Internet signal into an umbrella of Wi-Fi coverage that up to five people can share.

The MiFi is remarkable for its tiny size, its sleek good looks, its 30-foot range (it easily filled a large airport gate area with four-bar signal) — and the fact that it’s cordless and rechargeable. You can leave the MiFi in your pocket, purse or laptop bag. If your laptop has a traditional cellular modem, you can turn on a Mac OS X or Windows feature called Internet Sharing, which rebroadcasts the signal via Wi-Fi, just like the MiFi.

Imagine if you could get online anywhere you liked without messing around with cellular modems. It is like having a personal Wi-Fi hot spot that goes wherever you go. No?     Link
