When I reviewed the first Vodafone Mobile Connect Data Card I was very impressed and the competition struggled to keep up. When HSDPA rolled out though, T-Mobile stole much of Vodafone’s thunder, offering a near identical product with more data and a lower cost. Now however, the tables have turned and Vodafone has a product that will be the envy of all the other network operators. The USB Mobile Connect Modem has the advantage of being truly universal, something that no data card - whether PC Card or Express card - can boast. The ability to hook it up to any Windows based computer, without the need to carry a driver disc makes it truly flexible. But it’s the fact that this device is compatible with both PowerPC and Intel based Apple Macs that makes it really special. With the MacBook offering great design, decent performance and a rock solid OS, many Windows notebook users are being tempted over to Apple, and now Vodafone is offering them a high-speed mobile data solution. Yes it would be nice if the Apple driver could automatically load from the device like the Windows one does, but hopefully Vodafone will address that issue. As it stands though, this is the only HSDPA, or even 3G, EDGE or GPRS data solution for the latest batch of Apple notebooks (and some Windows ones). So, if you’re packing a laptop with no PC Card slot, you really want one of these. Note: The Vodafone USB Mobile Connect Modem is available online from today and through selected Vodafone business stores from Wednesday 22nd November. Read full review
