3G Internet Access Via PCMCIA Card

Posted by timothy on from the posted-from-a-found-wifi-spot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Found this on a European site. It's a PCMCIA card that connects you to the internet over a 3G network. With a download rate of 384kb/sec, it's close to broadband speed, and it works wherever there's network coverage. If you're tired of searching for a WiFi hotspot when you need one, this could be the answer."

  1. Summary for US readers by RobertB-DC · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Mobile Connect, as the full name suggests, is a 3G data card [...] connect to the Internet over Vodafone?s growing 3G network. The card also supports GPRS [...] You?ll also find a user guide, a driver CD and the all important SIM card.

    So, for us norteamericanos, the summary of this story is simple: Nothing to see here, folks, move along.

    (But I guess we can still slobber. And they say Slashdot is too US-Centric!)
