I have always been a big fan of real wireless data. Not the Wi-Fi rubbish that is about as useful as a cordless phone, but GPRS. EDGE, 3G HSDPA or EV-DO technologies which allow real wireless freedom.

Since I changed to a MacBook Pro I have had to use a mobile tethered to my my Mac by a USB cable, not very elegant and to be honest the data rate has never been able to match my trusted old Sierra Wireless 860 which will not fit in the Mac’s Expresscard slot.

I just found salvation in the form of a Novatel Merlin XU870 supplied by www.edgethailand.com.

The card is a dream to use, supplied from Edge Thailand complete with data sim card and easy to use software for both Mac and PC, and it’s quick too.

Now I’m truly mobile once again, thanks to Tim at Edge Thailand.
