Hey Howard, I know I backtracked on the Huawei pocket 3G Wi-Fi device. But then I saw this at CD-R King and I just fell in love with it immediately.
It’s the CD-R King 3G Mobile Wireless-N Broadband Router. Yes it’s a portable 3G to Wi-Fi hotspot. With rechargeable battery. Bag-friendly too, although it’ll be irregularly shaped with the USB dongle plugged into it, but it’ll do for people with roomy bags and “bayong” bags.
Price: Just P2,180.
The battery’s not bad. Not wow, but good enough for casual trips: clocked mine at two and a half hours before redlining.
You can charge it using a regular mini USB cable (just make sure it’s a charging cable — apparently not all cables can take the 5V load requirement). Yes, it comes with an AC charger.
But here’s the kicker: while the Huawei pocket Wi-Fi can share only up to five (?) devices, this portable Wi-Fi router can support up to THIRTY devices.
I’ll do a more serious review of this sometime soon, once my brain has settled from my deadlines. See ya, Howard. I’ll see ya when I get my iPad…

@Bernie I know! That would have made this device less bulky. But at its price point, I’m not complaining. For now…
This is not bad. At all.
Well, I know now who to NOT share my Huawei WiFi connection with! hehe, good find art!

Yes the unit plays nicely with Sun. And Globe and Smart. However, Sun postpaid (which I use) requires special settings which are not preset, so the CD-R King guy tapped them in before unleashing the unit into my greedy hands. Make sure to bring your USB dongle/s when you check out the unit. Just to be safe.
