iphone-on-verizonSure, you’ll have to get yourself setup with two data plans but if you really love using your iPhone this is a solution for you.

Anyone that has been standing in the same place as 100 or more iPhone users knows that it is over if you plan on using a web connected app or surfing for something on the web. Let alone the throng iPhone packing techies at CES.

What is required is for this hack (not really a hack as much as an additional hotspot in your pocket) is a MiFi. Any carrier MiFi will work for this.

I saw this put into action by Matt Cohen of Tekserve when we were standing in a hotel lobby that was lacking free wifi or AT&T service. He wanted to send up a photo to Twitter. He reached in his pocket and busted out the Verizon MiFi and seconds later was sharing his snaps. Brilliant.

This is the equation to follow if you’re so inclined:

I = iPhone
L = Your undying love for it
M = MiFi
C = Cash for two data plans
P = Pockets
N = Near complete connectivity

(I x L) +M + C + P = N

Wash, rinse and repeat every time that you leave your abode.
