just got one of them there MiFi thingys today, after limited testing does seem to be pretty good and I am based about 15 miles north of Glasgow, gone for a 1gb deal at just over £10 monthly to start, no cost for device, just flung it into the storage area under the arm rest and Bob was indeed my Mum's brother, with a very good signal, and it also seems to charge from the USB socket on my Connects2 MP3 adapter in the glove box and still works OK from there too, still to test on the move yet, and will report back on how that goes, guess the big test will be at the annual meet as the Lakes are not renowned for mobile reception, ohh and dont think they have a socket for external aerial, but dont see any reason why they wont work from the boot if a power source was available in there for when the battery runs low
