Novatel just released its new Ovation MC930D USB modem that will hit theoretical download rates of 7.2Mbps as well as upload rates of 2.1Mbps, but don't be surprised when you find that actual performance is way below the given figures. Setup is also a snap with the MC930D as it comes with automatic configuration, and you don't even need to find any drivers since the flash memory already holds those. Each purchase of the Ovation comes wtih a splitter cable for that added power boost beyond a notebook's USB port. Local carriers ought to be shipping the new Ovation sometime this month at a yet undisclosed price.
