NOVA media has released a new USB-based 3G modem for the Mac.

The Icon 225 costs US$156 and looks like a standard USB thumbdrive. When connected, it enables your Mac to communicate via 3G wireless data networks at up to 7.2 megabits per second download speed. It works via HSDPA, quad-band EDGE and GPRS networks.

Because it is not sim locked, it comes with a Launch2net, "wizard" software that helps users configure the modem for use in their country.

It includes connection settings for most mobile network providers worldwide and also provides connection statistics. µ

Doomed

Without a bead-blasted aluminium casing? It's doomed to failure.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
