Before we get you too excited, fair warning: there's not an ExpressCard to be found in the bunch. Instead, Sprint's decided to add another two PC Cards to the previously launched
Novatel S720, giving them a grand total of three EV-DO Revision A-compliant data cards ahead of their
network rollout -- it's just a shame all three devices fit in the same kind of slot. At any rate, we were always told not to look a gift horse in the mouth, so we're going to put a sock in it and thank Sprint for giving us options: first up is the value of the bunch, Pantech's PX-500, which'll clock in for a nice, round $0 on two-year contract. Next, the AirCard 595 from Sierra Wireless will match the S720's pricing, going out the door for $100 after signing on the dotted line. Expect both cards to drop before the end of the year, but until someone can show that the Pantech is demonstrably worse than its stablemates, we're really liking the sound of "free."

If you're looking for a different type of connection for your Rev A card, there's a USB one coming out on Oct. 1st. It's a Novatel U720, and it's only $50.

How can this be the "bronze" prize? The AirCard 595 is the best mobile device in the contest and one of the best inventions in the last 15 years. Two examples of the pure power of this product. 1 - Have you ever taken a train ride (or other hour long trip) into the city and sat there watching people fumble with their blackberry's with limited productivity? This product solely eliminates that mess and gives the user the ability to actually make their trip productive, rather than simply respond to emails with "ok. sent from my wireless device". 2 - It eliminates the reliance on Comcast or other home internet service providers. I know first-hand of the headaches dealing with internet service providers, and this card voids them all. There is no need to worry when the cable goes out what to do with your time - you have the internet at the tip of your fingers! And, if you are somewhat technologically savvy, you can even route this handy little AirCard into your wireless router and have a broadband enabled home network. I can't say enough about how this product has changed people's lives, and how it will continue to do so over in the future.
