Here is a video throw down between the Verizon UML290 and the Sprint 250U. Each card has some advantages. Verizon is $10 a month less, but it also has a 5GB limit. The good news is the overage is just $10 per GB now. Sprint is Unlimited in 4G areas, and is $59.99 a month. If you are a mega power user then Sprint is a great choice as long as you are in a 4G area. That said, for most people who are normal users, Verizon will be a better choice. That's my opinion. But watch the video - that's where it all goes down. Which one do YOU think is better and why?

February Top 5 List - Mobile Internet Cards
It's true: The lastest list of the Best 5 Mobile Broadband cards available in the USA is now available. Who will be #1 this month? I will give you a hint. It is 4G capable, but then again, there are almost zero reasons to get anything other than a 4G capable device. In fact 4 of the 5 on the list are 4G devices and the only 3G device is International capable, which is the only reason it even makes the list. Even if you don't currently live in a 4G area, don't waste you money on a slower 3G device when almost all the 4G devices are Free at More Mobile Internet anyway for Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile. Click on the above link to see the list.

Verizon Charging $10 more for USB cards?
Verizon is now charging $50 for 5GB of their mobile internet service. The big mystery is why this new rate plan does NOT include USB devices. If you happen to want a USB device, it's $59.99 and the overage is 5 times more expensive. For all the details see my blog article on why you should by the Verizon Mifi , not a USB. Does anyone know why? Could this have to do with the new LTE plans coming out?

How to Kill Firesheep before it hacks your Computer
If you haven't heard about the new Firefox extension called Firesheep that Eric Butler built then be very afraid to use public wifi. Read my blog post about Protecting yourself from Firesheep.
The short version is to not try and kill Firesheep, but rather just avoid the issue altogether. How is this best done? By using Sprint Mobile Broadband or a Verizon Mobile HotSpot this allows you to completely avoid those so called free Wifi hotspots. "Free" suddenly isn't so free when you are risking your computer getting taken over by anyone who downloads a free extension off of the Internet. Is this a shameless plug for the technology we sell? Of course it is! But that doesn't change the fact that open access WiFi is scary stuff indeed.

Sprint 4G now in Pittsburg and Minneapolis. Brett Farve is not sure, however.
As the Sprint Press Release below states, two more large cities are now 4G. 4G simply means, much faster mobile broadband and Unlimited service. It's as powerful as standard wired Cable Internet, but you can take it with you! But please, even though you can now watch a Vikings game at the stadium in full 4G, don't ask Brett Farve. He won't know which way he is going...
