Hands-on with the Novatel Wireless Ovation MC930d USB modemBy Philip Berne, 13 February 2008
Take a look at our hands-on pics of this tiny USB modem, with support for the fastest networks the World has to offer.

Novatel Wireless Ovation MC930D You could easily confuse the diminutive Novatel Wireless Ovation MC930D for a USB flash drive, since it's about the same size and weight. But instead of simple storage, this tiny stick serves up HSDPA/HSUPA for 7.2Mbps downloads and 2.1Mbps uploads (theoretically) on European networks. There wasn't much to do with the device in our hands on, Novatel Wireless didn't have a demo laptop demonstrating the device, but we can vouch for its small size and light weight. Just don't lose it. Release: March 2008.
Pros: Tiny USB modem for the fastest HSDPA and HSUPA networks.
Cons: Not coming to the U.S. (but neither is 7.2Mbps networking any time soon).
