Why drive around looking for Wi-Fi when you can turn your car into a mobile hotspot? Autonet Mobile provides all of your passengers (and possibly a few others in traffic) with instant Internet access. Just install the tiny router into your car’s trunk, and users can tap in via a PDA, laptop, PSP, or any other web-enabled device—up to 100 feet away from the vehicle. Check email, find restaurants, send instant messages, and even play games, with speeds ranging from 600Kbps to 800Kbps. The router has a one-time charge, but the service starts at another $29 per month for multiple users.
Price: $499 (router)
