ASUS WL-330 Pocket Wireless Access Point
Gadgeteer has a great and very detailed review of another pocket WiFi access point. If you travel as much as I do (Just did San Francisco to Dallas, to Berlin, to Aspen, to NY where this is being written --Alice) then you know that hauling even a small WIFi router like my trusty Linksys is cumbersome and hard to lug around.
From the review: "The WL-330 not only can be used as a wireless access point, it can also be used to replace an Ethernet cable on a system that does not have a WiFi card. All it takes to switch to this mode is a quick flick of the mode switch on the bottom of the module and some setting changes. The settings changes are accomplished through another utility that was installed from the included CD: the Device Discovery tool. When you launch this application it will display the connected access point and allow you to configure it using your web browser. This utility can actually be bypassed if you just bring up a browser and point it to 192.168.1.1."
Price: $69.95. May not top Apple's AirPort, but this category is defintely going to heat up.
