Novatel Wireless says it has partnered up with Comcast to sell both its little MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot and its Ovation  MC760, as the cable firm turns its efforts to rolling out its nationwide High-Speed 2go service.

Rob Hadley, CMO of Novatel Wireless said he saluted Comcast for its pioneering approach of adding mobile broadband connectivity to its already extensive offerings.

Unplugged readers will recall that we reviewed the diminutive but extremely handy MiFi a while back, finding it to be a real wireless hero when on the go. The Ovation MC760, also from Novatel, is promoted as the world’s smallest EV-DO Rev. A modem in a tough, durable yet pretty compact shell boasting a microSD  slot for up to 16GB of extra storage.

The MC760 is just two inches long and weighs in at less than an ounce, with an advanced dual band diversity antenna, as well as an optional external antenna for enhanced performance on the fringe areas of networks and in highly mobile environments.

It works with any laptop, tablet PC or desktop running Windows operating systems and equipped with a Type-A USB port.
