Filed under: Peripherals , Others , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS First generation 3G USB modems were monstrous, unsightly bricks, but like everything else in modern electronics, the wonders of miniaturization are starting to take effect . Option's joining the party with its iCON 225 , a 63 x 26 x 13mm stick that Option says responds "to the growing market demand for very small yet high-performance wireless solutions" -- in other words, yeah, we like 'em tiny. HSUPA sadly doesn't make the cut here, but the iCON 225 does include support for a mighty 7.2Mbps of downstream data when hooked up to an HSDPA network that supports such blazingly fast speeds . The modem's already shipping to carriers, so look for it to start showing up in retail channels very shortly. [Via Electronista ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
