Mobile operator Vodafone has joined Three (3) UK in launching its own portable battery powered Wi-Fi Mobile Broadband USB Modem router; otherwise known as the MiFi 2352 (manufactured by Novatel). Sadly the device will initially only be launched for business customers in Germany, Romania and Spain.. but we expect it to surface in the UK eventually.
The device itself is tiny and can connect up to 5 Wi-Fi equipped devices (laptops etc.) to Vodafone's Mobile Broadband service, albeit only within a 10 Metre radius. There is also a direct USB connector for when you don't plan upon sharing the connection with friends.
UPDATE - 14th September:Here's a video review of the same device:
