Swinging by the Novetel Wireless booth this afternoon, I got a great hands-on with the MiFi. The device is far smaller and more lightweight than you’d think; to give you an idea, I took some pics that compare it to my first-gen iPhone. Think… Read More »
CTIA 2009
I almost passed by the MSI Wind X-Slim netbooks, but the form-factor was just too darn alluring. With a starting price of $700, you’re getting a VW-like netbook on the inside, but it’s wrapped up in a nice Ferrari-ish exterior. My first thought was to… Read More »
