Mifi+iPad beats 3G iPad – here’s why

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Feb 19 2010

What can we say about this?  Apple doesn’t seem to want to build in 3G to their laptops and AT&T won’t allow tethering on the iPhone or iPad (without some ‘modifications’).  So what’s a Mac user to do when they want Internet access on the road?

There are a few options out there, but I’ve been using a Verizon Mifi card for the last six months and think that this might be the way to go for Internet connectivity for all devices.  In fact, I think it was the most important new product introduced last year…David Pogue from the New York Times humbly agrees with me.

Who needs clothes/furniture when there are iPads!?

The PayWall St. Journal has the story, Tech Gadgets Steal Sales From Appliances, Clothes, here.  Gist: Technology is getting more of our dollar than it ever has.  Where does that money come from?  All the other useless crap we used to buy.

Americans are spending more on electronics like iPads and flat-screen televisions and less on durable goods like furniture, washing machines and lawn mowers, according to government data released Tuesday…

Since September 2009, the 27-year-old has spent about $8,000 on new electronics. Among his buys are Apple’s iPhone 4, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod. He also bought a Blu-ray video player and a $2,000 stereo system.

Apparel executives say the iPhone in particular has become an ornament in its own right. “It’s a new fashion accessory, there’s no doubt about it,” said Richard Dickson, CEO of branded businesses at Jones Apparel Group Inc., which includes Jones New York, Nine West and Anne Klein.

Besides, electronics, the other area gaining ground by 6.4% in June?
