Megan Likes Portable WiFi

Yeah, yeah, it's been a long time since Megan liked anything. Well, Megan is busy. But today I came across a review of a new product that I really, truly dig. It's the Novotel MiFi—a portable wireless internet "cloud" that you can carry in your pocket for a fast, secure Web connection anywhere.

Now, at this point you're probably like, "Yo, Megan, don't you have a dongle?"

*Snicker.* No, I don't have a EVDO card, nor do I have a cable-modem dongle (or any other kind of dongle, you pervert). I've used both, though, and while they work alright, the connections speeds in my experience have been a little slow. And unless you have the kind that can be inserted in your computer's card slot, you're always at risk of someone bumping your computer and knocking the precariously attached thingie out of the USB slot. I like the idea of just having the MiFi in my purse and letting it emanate soothing waves of Internet goodness in my general vicinity. Best of all, according to the Pogue article, you can share your signal with others if you care to—it's a closed connection, but if you tell a friend your password and she happens to be sitting next to you, she too can get in on the MiFi lovin'.
