Rogers Releases The Rocket MiFi 2372 3G Hotspot

My “best friends at Rogers” dropped me an e-mail this morning to let me know that the Rocket MiFi 2372 3G Hotspot was now available for sale, which makes them the second Canadian wireless provider to have this device (as Bell carries it as well).

What does this device do you ask?

It’s a small box that takes a 7.2Mbps HSPA-based 3G connection and shares that connection via 802.11g Wi-Fi to up to five other devices. So it’s basically a router for those who need to surf the Internet in High Park or in locations where traditional broadband Internet isn’t available. It can run on battery for up to 4 hours, but it can also be connected via USB for power as well. It does have a couple of extra party tricks in the form of GPS positioning (which only works with Windows, sorry Mac Fanbois) as well as a MicroSDHC slot to give you storage for the purpose of file sharing. Commit to Rogers for three years, and it can be yours for $50. So for those of you who want to play Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from anywhere, you know what to do.
