Novatel Wireless Ovation U727

By Michael S. Lasky

Forget Hotspots. Forget fumbling with SSIDs. And forget the USB flash memory drive at home. Novatel's Ovation U727 USB modem stick provides a high-speed connection to the Net just about anyway you wander. Well, at least anywhere there's a decent ...
