Netgear Around Town
A reliable Wi-Fi network can be hard to find
when you're out on the road. Netgear has
a simple solution with the Around Town, a
mobile Internet device that creates a 4G LTE
hot spot using the Sprint network.
The compact, lightweight device provides
a secure wireless connection for up to 10
devices, and Netgear says the battery will last up to 10 hours on a full charge.
The first gigabyte of data is free; refills are $25 for each additional gigabyte.
The data does not expire and there's no contract or commitment, which is not
the case for similar devices on the market. Because you don't have to pay for a
monthly data plan, you can tuck the Around Town away between trips.

Mophie Spacestation
A tablet loaded with movies, television and music can be a better
way to pass the time in a car than, say, playing the license plate
game. But tablets are limited by their memory and battery life. You
can increase both with the Mophie Spacestation, a combination
backup battery and external hard drive.
The Spacestation provides up to 128 gigabytes of extra storage and
can triple the battery life of an iPhone 6, Mophie says. Files can be
transferred to the Spacestation
wirelessly or via USB cable,
freeing up space on your device.
