Wireless Internet Reviews

One of the troubles in buying a wireless broadband modem is that some of the newer ones are not available with older laptop models. The last thing you want to do is get a modem for an ExpressCard slot and find out that your PC only takes PC Card models. The new Sierra Wireless AirCard 402 takes care of that, offering both types of connections. This also keeps your USB slot free and clear (though with most USB modems including flash memory, or at least microSD expansion, keeping it free might not be as high a priority). The 402 also has a built-in GPS receiver, which should be at least marginally useful. The AirCard 402 will run $99.99 after $50 mail-in rebate and the signing of the two-year contract.
