JiWire's quick take

Likes
Shares EV-DO cell data connections with both wired and wireless clients, support for both EV-DO PC Cards and USB handsets, simple browser-based setup, optional automobile power adapter.

Dislikes
Hard to diagnose EV-DO signal problems, EV-DO has relatively poor performance compared to other broadband technologies, much larger than a travel router.

Good for
Mobile workgroups, RV vacationers or any business or family that wants to share a broadband cell connection at home or on the road.

Bad for
Those who need a more compact travel solution, or can't justify the $299 price tag plus $80 per month cell contract.
