T-Mobile has launched a wireless router that allows three users to share internet access from one of its 3G mobile broadband dongles.

T-Mobile mobile broadband users could share a 3G connection by slotting one of its USB dongles into the disc-shaped Mobile Broadband Share Dock 100. T-Mobile claims that up to three people can share the wireless connection comfortably.

It is thought the device will given away free to those purchase the £20-per-month mobile broadband package on an 18-month contract. Existing customers will also be able to purchase the Mobile Broadband Share Dock 100 separately. T-Mobile, however, has yet to confirm pricing.

I think this is a great thing to have. It's a shame that it is locked to the T-Mobile network, although I've heard Three will be releasing one as well. But, that will probably be locked to the Three network.

Option, the Belgian 3G wireless company are developing one. I've seen it, and it makes this and every other cradle product look pathetic. My advice - wait until January and buy theirs.
