Do you have to get Win XP? Can you just get Linux instead so that you don’t have to un-install Windows?

lol @ carl

I’m sure they’ll have some kind of provision in place to prevent that from happening. If not, then it’s a very poor plan on their part.

I’m always wondering if these embedded GSM devices have a SIM card buried somewhere inside…

here is one thing
is that $60 plan/service stand-alone or with voice?!
if it’s plain plan, it’s fine
if it’s voice addon, this’ll be $40 more expensive than VPN I currently use
$40×24 (2 years contract)=$960
it’s enough to buy 2 triple E and tether with my TM506, and use with VPN for $20 plus voice

It looks like you’ve got the wrong picture up there, although what’s pictured and the device written about are pretty much the same machine – except for 3G connectivity.
