So here's some interesting insight into the wild, rough-and-tumble world of wireless product launches: Verizon announced ZTE's AD3700 USB modem today, a product that
gained FCC approval over five months ago, which means it's probably been getting a trial by fire on Verizon's test labs since then. You've gotta figure that ZTE was working on the prototype for many months before FCC approval, so all told, this launch is probably a culmination of a solid year of work, cash, blood, sweat, and tears. Don't you feel obligated to buy it now? Anyhow, the modem runs $79.99 after a $50 rebate when it launches on the 14th, which is actually a really solid deal considering that it'll do EV-DO in the States and HSPA around the world for 3G service no matter where your job or your whimsical vacation travel habits might take you.

But will it work with Mac?
Why would it not? Pretty much every one they carry now does as long as you have up to date OS. * OSX 10.4.72 or higher (Tiger), OSX 10.52 or higher (Leopard)
* PowerMac G3 or newer with appropriate device interface
are the requirements.
Nope, check their website. Better have virtualization on your Mac, because Verizon only lists XP/Vista/Win2k as compatible OS's. Yuck.
OH NO! world mode....can they get any more lame.....when will verizon catch up to the rest of the world..
