Amongst the good ideas I’ve seen recently, I really liked this one – 3UK are offering their MiFi device (on contract) with a free iPod Touch.
“What? Who? When?” is what you might be thinking, but it’s all quite logical my dear Watson – you see, the MiFi is basically a 3G/WiFi gateway (AKA a mobile broadband hotspot), which connects to the 3UK network, and then provides a local WiFi field, for a limited number of devices. The iPod Touch is an iPhone with the phone bits taken out (or thereabouts), but it does have WiFi – so suddenly you can see how useful the combo is together! Internet access on the move with your iPod Touch (without wires)? No problemo!
Apparently the bundle costs £23/month for 24 months (commonly known as 2 years), and that includes a 5GB data allowance per month. So overall it’s a good deal. I would be tempted to wait till early next year, since I do think mobile broadband price erosion will continue. However, if you need a present for someone (or yourself) and want another potential present bundled in, this is perfect

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
