impossible for me because I use a normal motherboard so no pcmcia slot, and I use a right angle adapter for my AGP video card, so i'm SOL for a PCI card. So it's either serial or this, which is awesome because then I can share it with other users in the car.

Of course, as long as your a few cars away you can have internet as well

Cool. I'm liking Pandora, espicially since it doesn't require IE. The router looks neat too.

It goes as far as the WiFi will reach. Wifi actually goes pretty far outside, a lot further then it works indoors.

I did some more tests with it today and whatever Internet concession problems I had yesterday went away. I also tried downloading a large file in the background and still got around 25k/sec while moving.

I love that it works with a USB phone. If you get a PCMCIA card (or a PDA phone), Sprint makes you pay /MB charges (unless you get the really expensive unlimited plan). This is why I have always stuck with a normal phone so I can get unlimited internet for $15/mo over USB. I'm looking at upgrading to the Samsung A900 (aka: Blade) for the EVDO and BlueTooth support.

This is a cool device, but for my CarPC I'd rather just have a tiny BlueTooth USB dongle connect to my phone giving me unlimited EVDO internet for $15/mo (which you have to pay anyway if you want to be able to get the pictures off your camera phone).
