Here are the downsides to the MiFi:

- it gets really hot

- the battery only gets about 2.5 hours, max

- in NYC area, it is slow.

- it's not really cheap, it's $60/m for 5GB. Plus you have to pay $150 to buy it in the first place

If that still sounds good to you, I've got one for sale... ;)

Ha, nice. Of course it always seems like a good idea in theory, but it's another thing in practice.

It's really too bad municipal WIFI got crushed by the telecos, they really know how to hold onto power. I give them that.
