Thanks!
The MiFi is $149. Or you can get a USB stick for $79. I went with the Mifi as I can connect my iPhone and laptop at the same time.

I didn't really read the smallprint very well though. I thought it said you get 20 hours of power, when it actually says 20 hours of 'standby'. So, you only get 4 hours with the unit switched on using battery.

Cheers,
