3 Mobile have just announced the launch of MiFi – Mobile WiFi.

Having read through their launch info, it doesn’t sound like a revolutionary new product but could be useful for individuals who use a number of devices with WiFi on the move or for businesses who have multiple staff working away from the office together.

Essentially its like a regular mobile broadband modem, except rather than it just connecting to a laptop through usb/pc card slot, it also has built in WiFi, so multiple devices can connect to it without wires.  So if you are a small business with a couple of members of staff working remotely, this could allow them to share one mobile broadband connection, rather than having one each, and so there’s an instant cost saving (although you would need to think about data usage and speeds if they’re heavy users).

So like I say, nothing groundbreaking, but quite neat!

EDIT:

Looks like there’s something similar available from T-Mobile.
