So you've been longing to get in on the MiFi goodness, but you don't want the models available from Sprint or Verizon for whatever reason.  A new option has sprung up for you today, as AT&T has announced that it, too, will begin offering the Novatel MiFi 2372 on November 21st (that's this Sunday) for $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.  Customers will be able to choose one of AT&T's standard DataConnect plans for use with the MiFi, meaning you can get 200MB for $35 per month or 5GB for $60 per month, all at speeds of up to 7.2Mbps down.  Besides the usual abilities you'd find in a MiFi, AT&T's model will also pack a microSD slot that can be shared between the connected devices as well as "quick, browser-based access to widgets" like data usage, weather, etc.  You can check out the full press release down below.

I'm kind of surprised that it's taken AT&T this long to offer a MiFi considering how popular the devices have been.  Still, they have had USB sticks for a while, so it's not like customers have been completely out in the cold when it comes to mobile broadband.  AT&T's pricing for the MiFi's data plans aren't amazing, especially when you consider that customers with Verizon's MiFi can get 5GB of data for $10 per month less, but if you've got a bunch of WiFi-capable devices that need data and want to be on AT&T, now you've got a solution.AT&T Announces Company's First MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot
