Sprint announced its next generation Novatel Wireless mobile hotspot today. The new MiFi 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot brings WiMAX connectivity to Novatel’s popular lineup of wireless broadband devices. Previous spotted in a leaked rendering, the Novatel hotspot is credit-card small and makes the previous generation Sierra Wireless WiMAX-enabled Overdrive look like a gigantic hockey puck. Similar to the…
CES is just getting rolling, and we’ve got our first major announcement: Sprint has gone official with the HTC Evo Shift 4G. It’ll be priced at $149.99 on a two-year contract after rebates starting January 9, as rumoured.

Things aren’t looking so pretty for Clearwire as its founder and chairman, Craig McCaw, resigned just a few days ago prior to Sprint’s announcement this morning that it wouldn’t purchase the company’s debt.

More difficult news for Clearwire today. A SEC filing confirmed founder and board chairman Craig McCaw will be resigning from his position effective today. Clearwire did not reveal the reasons for McCaw’s departure but confirmed it did not involve a disagreement over company policies, operations or procedures.

We’re big fans of the Novatel MiFi devices but we’re disappointed that there haven’t been any 4G versions yet. That may soon change, as the picture above could be the Sprint 3G/4G MiFi.
