Launch2net offers worldwide 3G connectivity
Nova Media today unveiled Launch2net, an application designed to provide wireless data settings for over 400 networks in 157 countries. The software can use many Bluetooth, USB, PCMCIA, or ExpressCard connection methods to give mobile users internet access wherever they travel. Nova Media highlights the application for use with the MacBook Air, saying that it compliments the mobility of the device and the user's lifestyle. Launch2Net requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 Tiger or higher, while Leopard users are required to update to 10.5.1. The software is available for 75 euros, with an applicable VAT charge of approximately $110 US.
Launch2net's simplified interface offers users a Connect/Disconnect button, and supplies users with information on signal strength, transfer rates, traffic, and elapsed connection time. Nova Media also provides this functionality through a menu bar icon.
