Need a way to surf almost anywhere without relying on sketchy public Wi-Fi? Verizon sure thinks you do and hopes to entice subscribers with a new Jetpack mobile hot spot.
Called the Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 510L and made by Novatel, this gadget ships January 31 for $19.99 and continues the carrier's line of portable 4G sharing products. The hockey-puck-shaped 510L can spread its 4G LTE data connection to up to 10 mobile devices such as smartphone, tablets, and laptops via wireless Wi-Fi connection.
