DLNA streaming media support has been added to the MiFi 2372.

AT&T MiFi 2372 Review

Chris Davies, Jan 28th 2011 Discuss [10]

It’s taken AT&T long enough to push a MiFi mobile hotspot out of the door, but finally the AT&T Novatel Wireless MiFi 2372 is available. As with the original MiFi units, the premise is straightforward: take one 3G connection and share it between a number of WiFi devices. Still, with 4G mobile hotspots on the market, and many smartphones offering integrated hotspot functionality, is the AT&T MiFi 2372 too late? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Evan Selleck, Dec 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

It's not official, other than the fact that the device cleared the FCC a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like the very first press image of the 3G/4G MiFi from Novatel has managed to find its way onto the Internet. It's not an official release by any means, and the image comes from the SprintUser forums, from member r0fl.
