Submit Resource Tracker Forum Advance Search ISpot 4G Review Pros And Cons Aug 9, 2010 The download Speed is around 3-5 MB/s in my area (Maryland) Upload is around 0.8MB. Some people claimed that it goes away up like 9 MB/s, but I really doubt cause this thing has speed cap at 6MB for download and 1MB for download, but I would love to proven wrong. Battery life was indeed around 4-5 hours of usage. Here are my pros and Cons on this device. Pros: Light, No-Contract, the device is 99 dollars (Fair price) and it’s only 25 dollars a month. Wi-Max connection is a lot faster than AT&T 3G or Verizon Mifi. Can connect up to 8 Apple mobile Devices. Cons: There is no coverage in LA or SF. In other words, if you don’t live in 4G city, then you are out of luck. Their coverage is still not good. Didn’t work right away from the box and had a trouble setting it up with iPad. It runs really hot. Cannot connect PC or laptops unless you do Mac spoofing. View 7 Replies Similar Messages: Pros And Cons Of 3G Pros And Cons Of Portrait Or Landscape Modes?

At the same time I am wondering if it is really worth the 10% restocking fee I will incur, the extra $130 on top of that, and than the added cost of 3g. So I thought Id compile a list of pros and cons of the 3g ipad hoping that people can add to it.

A company known as Clear has released an iDevice-specific version of their Spot portable wireless 4G hotspot products, appropriately named iSpot. The iSpot allows up to eight iDevices to connect to Clear’s nationwide 4G wireless WiMax network. The iSpot features an 1,830 mAh internal rechargeable battery that allows about 4 to 5 hours of runtime. The device even sports an Apple look, similar to the Mighty Mouse, but a bit smaller and notably thinner. The iSpot charges via the included mini-USB cable and wall charger, which gives you a completely wireless solution. Some may wonder if they could use this with their MacBooks or other non-iOS Wi-Fi equipped devices and, well, Engadget was able to provide a little clarity beyond the basic tech specs listings. We followed up with Clearwire regarding authenticating with the iSpot. We’re told that "the device is configured to filter based on MAC address which allows it to ID the Apple mobile devices," which explicitly means iPhones, iPads and iPod touches only. Let’s get down to the availability of the Clear 4G WiMax network and the service fees, as that’s what really matters. The 4G network has been deployed in 55 major markets thus far, including places like Jacksonville, Atlanta, Honolulu, St. Louis, Boise, Chicago, Kansas City, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Seattle, and Washington D.C. Feel free to check for coverage in your area using your specific address. Download performance is quoted as "up to 6Mbps" with uploads transferring at "up to 1Mbps." The iSpot On-the-Go is a no-contract, month-to-month service plan where "users can enjoy unlimited 4G data usage for an initial low monthly service offering of $25." We were not able to verify whether that means early adopters get an incentive or if after a set number of months the plan price will change to the standard On-the-Go plan for $40 per month. The device is on-sale directly through Clear’s web site only until the end of today for an introductory price of $29. After that, the regular suggested retail price of $99 kicks in and the device will be available at authorized resellers. Even though you aren’t required to sign a long term contract, it’s still a good idea to read over all of the fine print. With somewhat limited coverage and iDevice only compatibility, are you one of those to find this an option? [via Engadget] Popout Related Posts View 11 Replies ISpot Versus ClearSpot Which Is Best? Oct 28, 2010 Can anyone tell me if I can use the ClearSpot to connect my Ipad to the internet? I know I can use the iSpot, but I wanted to find out if I could use the ClearSpot also since I also want to connect my laptop using the same hotspot device instead of having to buy 2 hotspots (ispot and clearspot). One of the Clear employees told me I could, and another told me I couldn’t. So I’m a little confused.

I won’t be using backgrounder or any themes, and I won’t be using too many 3rd party apps......I already know it voids the warrenty, but this can easily be solved with a restore. I am worried if I jailbreak my iPad it will make it have less battery life and/or it will make it slower. I haven’t jailbroken any iDevices in a while so I want to make sure before I jailbreak my iPad View 11 Replies Best Review Jul 4, 2010 Flash can slow down your computer a lot, making it hot on the back, and over-heat it. I also bet they will come out with a webcam that you can hook to the iPad in a few years (or even an iPad with a webcam in it!) Because quite frankly, the iPad is beautiful. You can easily watch movies, shows, and YouTube videos in a higher quality. One of my favorite apps on the iPad is iBooks. I personally don’t like spending lots of money on books, and having to flop them around with me. Now with iBooks (Now available on iOs4) you can read any books you want, just by tapping on a cover! That’s truly amazing. One thing I don’t like about the iPad is that it is a little overpriced, making it $500 dollars for 16GB, which is well, not really a good price. I bet you it will eventually get slowly cheaper. View 4 Replies Review After First Day Of Use Apr 5, 2010 Here is my own, thoughtful iPad review...
