Likely a netbook
Z....
I'm guessing it was a netbook, with wireless broadband built in. Verizon sells a netbook for about $150 (with 2 yr. contract) and the monthly services is $59.99 for 5GB data, which they term a heavy user. You can get 250mb/month for $39.99, but that wouldn't very much for someone who is trying to replace the home internet connection. I'm not sure 5GB would be enough either. Like everything else, it would depend upon how you use it. Lots of videos would be a killer for data, but email and normal surfing would be easy with 5GB.
I still like the MiFi option, since I can use it with any computer. Data charges are the same; not sure about the device cost. I can't seem to get the website to work for me, here in Germany
