Vodafone UK has introduced the USB Modem Stick, which plugs directly into a laptop without the need for a cable and supports both Mac OS X and Windows (Vista and XP).
The modem is compatible with Vodafone UK’s recently upgraded mobile broadband network, now supporting download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps (for receiving files) and 1.44Mbps uplink (for sending files). The speeds available are respectively 14 and 22 times faster than the original 3G service launched in 2004.
The Stick is available on the £25 Mobile Broadband flat rate and prices for the device itself start from £49 with an 18- month contract. Mobile Broadband customers signing up to a 24-month contract will receive three months free of charge. The upgraded 7.2 network is currently available in parts of central London and major airports.
The “Macsimum MWSF 2007 Coupon Book” is available for download. You can find it here and print it as a PDF. It has discounts, special offers and promotions in conjunction with the upcoming Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco.
