3Gstore.com Now Includes Sprint SmartView For Mac & Windows EVDO Customers
Starting April 7, 2008, 3Gstore.com is now included Sprint SmartView connection software with all Sprint EVDO Card orders. This free CD gives the latest Sprint connection manager that was just released a few days ago. 3Gstore.com has tested it and feels that it is important enough to include with all orders.
This is especially important for our Mac customers - since this release is the first Sprint native connection manager for Mac users.

One feature that Sprint Mac users have NEVER had was the ability to activate their card on their Mac. Previously, a Windows PC (or BootCamp or Fusion) would be required to do initial activation and to do any PRL Updates. Finally, Mac users can finally do everything on their Mac without a need for a Windows PC.
This also includes GPS. Mac users can use the built-in GPS to drive Mapping programs from Google or Yahoo along with the ability to easily locate nearby points of interest (POI) like banks, hotels, restaurants and other place people need to find easily and quickly during a roadtrip.
The new Sprint Smartview for Mac will be included with the upcoming Sierra Compass 597 USB modem that was announced by Sprint today (expected in April 2008).
3GStore will begin including a copy of the latest Smartview connection manager software on a CD that we will ship with every Sprint EVDO device ordered with service from 3GStore.
