Three are launching their MiFi device on 17th September 2009.  So what is it and why do I care I hear you ask?  Well it is basically a self contained, battery powered 3G Modem with a built in WiFi Access Point allowing any device with WiFi to access the Internet via Three’s 3G Mobile Broadband.  Giving around 5 hours of life it recharges via USB.

So take an iPod Touch, Sony PSP, or a Nintendo DSi and off you go your own WiFi access point wherever you want one.  Out and about with your Laptop or NetBook then no troublesome 3G Dongle installation and configuration.  Forget about nasty proprietary access software, just get online whenever and wherever you have a 3G signal.

I can’t wait to get hold of one of these!

Every so often I find a product that is perfect at what it does and also looks great doing it.  That pretty much sums up this backpack from Built.

I travel around with my MacBook almost every day and most often I only need the laptop and maybe the charger, not every other bit of crap in my backpack just in case I might need it.  All this extra stuff makes it heavy and some of it is never used.  What makes this new backpack from Built different, well it is very slim so you can’t just bung in all your crap.  It holds your laptop snug to your back so it is not flopping around stressing the hard drive, etc.  It has a pocket for your charger etc if you need it, and a small pocket on the shoulder for an iPod or phone.  It can even be worn under a jacket if it is loose fitting, so no one would know it is even there.  This is so what Jack Bauer would use to carry his laptop around town (Note: Alough it might look like it does, it will not stop bullets!).
