This is possibly my favorite product of the year.

Cradlepoint wireless hotspot

This is on my top ten list for Gadget of the Year. The Cradlepoint PHS300 Personal Hotspot creates a fully portable hotspot using your broadband-enabled cell phone or data card. In English, that means if you have a Sprint or Verizon (or any comparable brand) card that goes in your computer and gives you internet access, you can now share that access to a group of your closest friends and coworkers, and do it while you are on the move. I tested it with my buddy’s data card, and it worked seamlessly. Not only did he not see any slowdown on his side, I was able to get my email, surf the web and generally work as if I had my own card plugged in. Plus, it’s secure. We tested the mobility by taking a drive with our laptops (obviously have to ride in the same car) and the Cradlepoint worked great. Perfect for sharing a connection while on the road (camping or giving a presentation to coworkers).
