If you haven’t heard about the Novatel Mifi then let me quickly explain what it is. Its a palm-sized gadget that you put a 3G-capable SIM card in. You press a button; wait a short while and voila! An instant Wifi hotspot for up to 5 devices at broadband speeds. It really is as simple as that. Use it in hotels, cars, the park and the coffee shop to give yourself instant, mobile internet access.

For more detailed information, a review and a video, check out the round-up we published over at UMPCPortal earlier this year.

If this sounds like something that you’re interested in, we’ve got an easy competition for you. You can win a Mifi 2352 (that’s the European-focused 3G version) that has been donated by our good friends at Mobilx.

To have a chance to win the Mifi 2352, all you have to do is to answer one easy question in the comments section below.

What colour Mifi would you like to win?

The valid choices are available to view at Mobilx so check them out and let us know. IMPORTANT: You need to subscribe to the comments.  Only email addresses that are subscribed to the comments will be used to chose a random winner.
