Take a gander at your gadget wishlist and check to see if this is on there: the iSpot, a mobile 4G hotspot for Apple mobile devices only. It’s $29 (normally $100) and uses MAC filtering to prohibit any other non-Apple device from connecting and surfin’ the 4G revolution. Why?
Yeah, it’s pretty cheap for now at $29 (with $25/month fee for 4G data access). But in my eyes, there doesn’t appear to be much of a market for this. Not to mention, when that price shoots back up to the $100 mark, it becomes a lot less useful or special. Who’s going to want to buy a mobile hotspot that’s tied to a particular manufacturers gadgets without any possibility of making new friends? A few Apple aficionados might jump on board, but nowhere near the mass quantities I think Clear believes will come in hoards.
Any Apple fans out there diggin’ the iSpot, or will you simply buy a “universal” 4G hotspot so you’re not limited with what you can connect to it?
