I just got Verizon's Wireless Broadband EVDO service for my MacBook Pro. While Verizon is a company that people often bitch about (frequently w/good reason), their EVDO service really rocks.

No more war-driving for open hotspots or getting charged outrageous day-rates by hotels or Starbucks. W/the EVDO card, my Mac flies along just nicely. While it is true that there are dead-spots w/the EVDO coverage (apparently the EVDO network only covers about 140 million pops- or people- whereas Verizon Wireless' overall network covers about 240 million), it still works plenty good in most places. The real test for me will be while I am in Hawaii for New Year's: if Iget good wireless coverage there, I am going to be one happy guy since it means less time in lame cybercafes and more time to surf, hang w/the family, and get work done in a beautiful setting. Less glamourously, VZW's EVDO will also make my biz travel easier

So you can blog from anywhere and aren't limited to wifi hotspots. Cuz sometimes you want to get out of the house and be around other live human beings.

verizon EVDO is really great. i love this service!
