Good news Apple MacBook Pro users (and those with PCs equipped with an ExpressCard slot.) Dell is rebranding the Novatel’s Merlin XV620 with its own Texas sized name. Why would I tell all y’all that Dell, a PC manufacturer, is a good thing for Macs? ‘Cause the ExpressCard its putting out for sale at $179 is going slide right into your MBP and allow you to cruise the Internet at 500kbs to 1mps speeds. Good news for those not lucky enough to have the XV6700 hack I must say. Don’t worry about the high ticket either, ’cause y’all get one month of free Verizon based EV-DO access. After that, you’re frontin’ $59.99 a month if all y’all gots a Verizon voice plan or $79.99 a month if you ain’t. No worries on the drivers either, Hos, OS X rev 10.4.7 has got the needed drivers. Giddy up!
