<div>This suggestion is a lot better,<br>however I would still preffer a mifi, as it is cheaper, and exactly does what i want, nothing more, nothing less<br>( i do not need the screen, audio, computing power, etc, )<br><br>
Thanks for your help,<br>Erez.<br><br>btw, did i made anybody smile with the true story of the zebra ?<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">

and that reminded me about the donkey with painted stripes.<br><br>no offense but, <br>maybe this is because people are too eager to help<br>but a wireless router is not built with small size, low battery consumption and many other consideration a mifi does.<br>
do you thing i can sell a "wireless router + 3g dongle + battery" as a product ? people will laugh at me and i will be out of business.<br><br>so thanks for your help, but if you know of a MIFI I can put some kind of Linux on, please let me know<br>
