Hasta La Gadget!

Remember those rumors earlier this week that T-Mobile was finally getting ready to launch a mobile hotspot or two? Seeing how Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint have all done it, it certainly makes sense — especially with this newfangled 21Mbps HSPA+ network T-Mobile’s got going on — and sure enough, we’ve now got concrete evidence of a unit in the FCC’s database. The MF61 from Chinese manufacturer ZTE is pretty clearly labeled “T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot” inside… so yeah, there’s your smoking gun. Confidentiality prevents us from seeing the user’s manual or a photo of the thing, but from what little we can see, looks like we’ll end up with a rounded unit not unlike the variant of the Novatel MiFi on AT&T and a number of European carriers. Really, though, doesn’t matter what it looks like — as long as it fits in a pocket and blasts high-speed data to a handful of WiFi connected devices of our choosing, that’s all we need.
