Yet another goodie to potentially look forward to at CES next week is this portable Wi-Fi hotspot that shares a 4G WiMAX connection over 100 feet. If you’re worried about limited WiMAX coverage, the Sprint Overdrive is dual-mode EV-DO, so you can roll like a standard MiFi if you’re out of town. For those who are a bit greedier about their mobile broadband, the U301 4G internet stick should be out in February. No pricing or availability information on the WiMAX hotspot just yet, but we’ll be sure to hit up Sprint at CES to see what’s up.
