From Cellular News 26/02/2007:

AnyDATA has released what it says is the world's smallest and fastest wireless USB modem - the ADU-610 - to carriers worldwide. The ADU-610 high-speed modem works worldwide on 3G networks that utilize the HSDPA/UMTS technology. In areas where the carrier has deployed GPRS networks, the USB modem still transmits at 384 kbps.

Even though it provides ample speeds for home Internet access, the ADU-610 is designed for portability. It is small as a keychain - 35x93x10mm - and has an internal antenna unlike first-generation data cards. The device is certified for PCs using Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) drivers. The modem has also been certified to support Windows Vista.

The modem works worldwide on wireless networks that utilize high-speed 2.1Ghz frequencies as well as 1800 and 900Mhz GSM networks. One of the leading carriers in Korea has already certified the ADU-610 and is commercially available to its subscribers.

"It has never been easier to enjoy the speed and ubiquitous access of broadband 3G wireless networks, than using the breakthrough ADU-610 modem," said Charles Napier, Vice President of Marketing for AnyDATA. "While innovative in its performance and small design, it comes with the reliability of AnyDATA who has certified its modem products with over 54 carriers in 42 countries worldwide."

And where's the OS X support? *shakes head*

Looks cool. I wonder how it'll stack up against the one Vodafone are already using? I like that this one is a 'dongle', but I get excellent signal on mine and I'm not sure if a more compact unit could compare. Time will tell...

...and what on earth is the 384kbps over GPRS claim about?

I think they mean 384Kbps vanilla 3G data speeds - but what a way of putting it!!
