Catering to users who want a constant cellular connection to their laptops, T-Mobile has unveiled its new WebConnect USB Laptop Stick. According to the Seattle Times, the USB stick modem is equipped with up to 8GB of storage capacity, has a slot for a micro SD card and comes with a SIM card.
The portable modem enables users to connect to the Web from their laptop using T-Mobile's 3G network or Wi-Fi. In addition, the WebConnect USB Laptop Stick includes T-Mobile Connection Manager software which automatically detects the best means of connectivity for the user, says CNET News. The device also features tri-band 3G connectivity making it usable when a user is traveling abroad. It's also compatible with GPRS/EDGE so users will still be able to connect to the Web when in an area without 3G.
T-Mobile's WebConnect USB Laptop Stick will be available today in select T-Mobile retail stores. The device by itself costs $250, $100 with a one-year service contract, or $50 with a two-year service contract. The monthly plan runs $60 for 5GB of wireless data.
