Although there have, and will always be Unlocked HTC Pure Windows based hardware, Mac is now making a comeback as can be seen from the launching of the new 3G and 4G routers and modems by Clear. It is now a first that there have been such developments in the field of support for the Mac such as the 4G+ USB data stick that was recently made by Sierra Wireless. In fact, there have been numerous different data sticks made specifically for the Mac. Clear data cards make use of WiMax, and when such WiMax support is unavailable, the Clear card would automatically switch to the 3G or EVDO network.  If you do plan on purchasing this device, you will have to either shell out a premium of $115 for the entire device or pay a reasonable $6 per month should you want to rent it. Such renting is quite similar to the renting of a router from your local internet company.

To be able to work with Clear data cards, you will have to have a Mac OS X Leopard or higher and when choosing the routers, you have a choice of which to choose.  The first router available is the Spot 4G on Iphone 4 Unlocked Device  which will not work with any other network except Clear’s 4G range. Through this router, a maximum of eight users will be allowed, so all your friends and family can take part. Part from this, there is also the Spot 4G+ that allows a maximum of 5 users at a single time. Quite similar to Sprint’s 3G/4G network, it allows users the ability of switching to a 3G network in case the signal from Clear’s 4G is extremely weak or not available.

The Spot 4G is available at a premium of $100, whereas the Spot 4G+ is available at a premium of $225, which works out to $65 per month should you be on the go often
