If you haven’t heard about the Novatel Mifi then let me quickly explain what it is. Its a palm-sized gadget that you put a 3G-capable SIM card in. You press a button; wait a short while and voila! An instant Wifi hotspot for up to 5 devices at broadband speeds. It really is as simple as that. Use it in hotels, cars, the park and the coffee shop to give yourself instant, mobile internet access. It’s so good, it’s been voted top mobile accessory here.
For more detailed information, a review and a video, check out the round-up we published earlier this year.
If this sounds like something that you’re interested in, we’ve got an easy competition for you. You can win a Mifi 2352 (that’s the European-focused 3G version) that has been donated by our good friends at Mobilx.
To have a chance to win the Mifi 2352, all you have to do is to answer one easy question in the comments section below.
How many ‘Reward Points’ do you get for buying a MiFi from Mobilx.
The competition is open from now until 2000 CET Thursday 16th December
Competition is open to all with the following conditions:
- You must be 18 years old to enter.
- Winners will be chosen randomly.
- Obvious cheats will be removed from the entry list.
- Friends and family members of Steve ‘Chippy’ Paine and anyone else directly associated with producing content for Carrypad or UMPCPortal are prohibited from winning.
- Shipping charges will be covered, but if you are required to pay taxes on contest winnings where you live, you’ll be responsible for taking care of that on your own.
- If you don’t get your entry in by the end time, you can’t win.
- By entering, you grant Carrypad permission to publish your name in a roundup of contest winners.
Many thanks to Mobilx for their support. Mobilx offer a wide range of mobile computing solutions and are able to ship worldwide. Check out their web site here.
