Voiamo launched a new service for world travelers, allowing them to stay connected while not breaking a bank. Dubbed Globalgig, it comes with a small Mobile Hotspot device (pictured above) that makes it easy to get your Internet fix in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Expansion to other Asian, European Union markets and other large global travel hubs is planned and will be unveiled over the next 12 months.
Customers interested to try out this service can grab a 1GB bundle for $25.00, 3GB for $39.00 and 5GB for $49.00. While competitors can charge up to $20 per megabyte and offer international data packages ranging from 15-25 cents per MB, Globalgig’s biggest plan (5GB) drives price down to as little as 0.95 cents (nearly a penny) per MB. Pretty neat.
The mentioned Mobile Hotspot device is sold separately and it could be yours for $119… You can get all the details and sign-up from the Globalgig’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
