It’s the first of its kind and looks set to do very well in the mobile phones market, the new MiFi from 3 is a self contained unit that acts as your personal WiFi hotspot, this new device allows you to connect all of your WiFi compatible gadgets like your iPod, Nintendo Wii, mobile phone etc wherever you might be rather than having to rely on public WiFi services.

3 have now announced that their new Mi-Fi personal hotspot device which is manufactured by Huawei who also supply 3 Mobile’s broadband usb modems and dongles will be available from September 18th and just to whet our whistle even more they have also announced some prices for us, at just £15 per month the MiFi will cost £69.99 and gives you 5GB of data, alternatively the device can be purchased on a pay as you go scheme called ‘Ready to Go’ and will cost £99.99 with 3GB of included data which can then be topped up when needed.

MiFi Wireless Modem Hotspot

OK, so we’ll admit that the concept itself is nothing new as many will know you can create your own WiFi network by installing a certain application into a Series-60 device that turns it into a wireless modem, but this is the first time that a dedicated ‘handset’ has been made available and the MiFi just makes things simple, there is an internal SIM card for the mobile broadband and to connect via you laptop etc all you need to do is enter an 8 digit key to start surfing.
