How do you provide a decent speed internet connection to multiple devices on a USA road trip? (either on interstates, in campgrounds or hotels)

Four people have at least 2 devices the following (total 11 devices), but up to 5 active at any given time.

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • iPod
  • Laptops (iOS and Win7)

Use Mifi

Mifi is a device that able to host a Wifi connection using 3G card.

Small enough to fit in your pocket, but powerful enough to bring the Internet to your whole family wherever your wireless phone goes - no cables required. Just power it on and instantly connect up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

Search for "wifi tethering". There are some apps that turn your phone into a wifi hotspot in android app market, but i have also seen dedicated devices who are essentially wifi+3g modem+battery in one box.

see also the section about carrier contracts at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering
