EVDO to Wi-Fi Router Update

Earlier I wrote about a then-new EVDO to Wi-Fi router from Kyocera. Well, I can report that I've been using it for over a year now with fantastic results. I initially bought it to house my Verizon EVDO PC card after upgrading my PowerBook to a MacBook Pro (remember, the MacBook Pro has no PC card slot; it uses ExpressCards). At the time, there were no EVDO ExpressCards, so the Kyocera was to be a stopgap solution until they appeared. Well, Verizon started shipping the EVDO ExpressCards, and I'm still using the Kyocera. Despite the size, its nice having a full-fledged access point that can share a connection with multiple users.
