Verizon is expected to announce a personal MiFi hotspot, which allows a 3G broadband connection to power a WiFi hotspot. The Novatel MiFi 2200 is about the size of a credit card and will run for four hours. Wireless hotspots that allow 3G backhaul connectivity are nothing new. But this newest version is truly mobile, allowing users who have a 3G data plan to set up a wireless hotspot virtually anywhere. The new MiFi scoop comes from PhoneArena via Engadget. Pricing is just a guess right now, but rumors put it at $200, which seems expensive to us. The details are expected to be revealed during this week’s CTIA show.
