As soon as they repair my MacBook Pro 17 which lost a hard drive from an 8 inch fall (weak sauce), I want one of these.
I've been using Verizon's EVDO network on my PBG4 15 with a Kyocera 650 card for over a year. While there's currently no EVDO coverage in Nashville, it has been invaluable in other areas of the country where I routinely travel. The speed is about equivalent to a DSL or cable line for downloads. Uploads are probably equivalent to slightly more than an ISDN line with bonded channels. I've found Verizon's coverage to be good, but their billing and customer service are sub par. I've nearly bought myself out of the contract twice now and they are on thin ice since I had to repurchase a Motorola Q handset due to the constant problems I had with my original purchase. It would be great if Apple would have these built in a la Airport.
