The AT&T USBConnect is HUGE - In a Bad Way
I recently purchased an AT&T USBConnect 881 device, allowing me to connect my Macbook Air to the internet on AT&T’s 3G BroadbandConnect and EDGE networks. The service provided by AT&T in Phoenix was pretty decent, no complaints.
On the other hand the USB device has a huge battery. Help me understand - why does a USB device need a battery the size of a credit card? I’d rather pay AT&T to tether my iphone to my Macbook Air. That would provide a smaller and more affordable solution. And we know the technology is there, as hacked iPhones have the ability to be tethered.
4 days later, I returned the device.
