Location-based services have finally melted our brains to the point where we're completely useless without immediate and constant access to Google Maps or a reasonable facsimile -- we couldn't fold a paper map if we tried, and even if we could, we'd spend an hour looking for the pulsing blue dot. That's why we're so delighted to hear that AT&T has finally outed its very first GPS-enabled USB modem, the USBConnect Velocity from Option, that includes a so-called Option GPS Control Panel for injecting your whereabouts into popular services like Yahoo and Bing (Google, curiously, isn't mentioned (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/motorola-backflip-for-atandt-unboxing-and-hands-on/)). The other newbie to the lineup is the USBConnect Turbo -- AT&T's very first modem from LG -- with an "ergonomic design" and versatile connector for even the most awkward ports (MacBook, we're looking straight at you). Both devices will be available on the 7th of the month; the Turbo will be free on contract after rebate while the Velocity comes in at $29.99.AT&T USBConnect Turbo and Velocity are carrier's first LG and GPS modems, respectively (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/atandt-usbconnect-turbo-and-velocity-are-carriers-first-lg-and-gp/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:11:00 EST.
