Three is launching an adapter for its existing range of mobile broadband dongles, to offer the perfect home or office landline broadband replacement.

With most of its network now upgraded to offer HSPA+, users can experience speeds of up to 21Mbps with the newest dongles, such as the Huawei E367. Tariffs include bundles of data ranging from 3-15GB per month.

The MF10 Dongle Adapter, manufactured by ZTE, is a mains powered unit that accepts most existing USB mobile broadband dongles, allowing a single connection to be shared over wi-fi with up to five devices at the same time.

Unlike the battery powered MiFi unit, the MF10 also includes an ethernet connection to get older devices connected too - or to hook up to a separate router.

The MF10, available in black, measures 88x66x25mm and has a range of 30 metres for wi-fi. It's compatible with the following dongles: Huawei E122, E1550, E156G, E169, E1750, E1820, E353u, E367u, ZTE MF112 and MF627.

Pricing and availability will be available shortly.

From starting out as a games tester for Mastertronic, Virgin and Sega in the late 1980s, it may seem odd to then ditch everything to write about mobile phones that, at the time, lasted 20 minutes between charges. He always had a hunch mobiles would become quite popular, but possibly didn't realise how powerful (and, ironically, returning to 20 minutes between charges). Jonathan's job is to continue advising on the best hardware to buy, in order to enjoy games that have advanced considerably since those long days and nights testing Double Dragon on the C64.
