I've seen them and always wondered why one would want one. But now with my BB and some difficulties at hotels, I recognize it's values. Also, I occasionally have to update a couple of tablet PC's used for navigation charts on the airplane and it would save having to purchase more than one connection at the places where they charge for internet.

I'm wondering how the browser authentication takes place. Just authenticate on the PC once then the BB would be able to pick up a dhcp IP from the router and surf away? Sounds too easy. There must be a catch.

BTW, Amazon is where I saw them for the least, so far.
