Default Virgin Hot Spot

I just wanted to post this bit of information that might not be exciting to those more tech savvy amongst us.

I am sitting as a passenger in our vehicle driving along Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania typing and reading TOTV on my laptop. We recently moved to PA and decided to try the Virgin Mobile, no contract, mobile broadband hot spot, MiFi. It is amazing. We just bought it last night and today's drive to Albany, NY, was my vehicle test. It certainly works. A little slow in the car, but hey, I love this.

The device is no bigger than a credit card. Has a battery that last four hours when charged. It's range is suppose to be 30 to 40 feet and can connect upto five devices. We have our laptops and our Nintendo Wii connected at home.

The device was $149 at Best Buy and the monthly charge is $40 through Virgin Mobile, which is owned by Sprint Nextel.
