Re: A typical nonsensical, greedy BS deal - this must be AT&T...

Great so how about comparing an Orange to an Orange instead of an Apple and Orange.

This promotion appears to go along side the Air Cards not data added to a second smart phone device. If you were in the market for just an Air Card and not other phone service it would be an OK deal.

I prefer a stand alone Air Card instead of teathering because you are not tied to a single device.

Apple is a hardware vendor, Orange is UK provider... :P

No, it still wouldn't be an OK deal because it would only make sense if, beyond wanting the air card you would also A) want an Acer Aspire One B) you would want to use specifically AT&T WITHOUT any regular account for $60/mo (how does that make sense?) and C) you want a 2-yr long contract, all this for ~$1600-1700 with tax.

In this case you're right, it's a "great" deal.

You don't get it: it's a SIM card, not a device.

As a matter of fact this gives you more freedom than any air card: you can shove it to any SIM-based device as well as into usb adapters etc.

Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.
