Wondering if a Macbook or other G4 would work well with it.
They explicitly state Mac compatibility, and in my experience
most of these cellular broadband devices are mac compatible,
although I don't know about G4's, though.
Its a cellular broadband device. Do they stream video at all well?
Well it depends on your connection but at their nominal data rate,
they should work reasonably well. I've known several people who use
skype regularly with such.
Uh, VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure you fully understand Data charges. If
you are going to stream video, you are going to burn through that 3GB
pretty quickly. How much per GB is it after the promo allotment? I
have read WAY TOO many stories of people running up $1,000 bills
after the promo allotment is gone over.
