Got the [Sapido MB-1132](http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/productmb1132o.htm) for NT$1,790 (~S$76.83). Thanks to my relative, Andy, who got it from [Guang Hua Digital Plaza](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guang_Hua_Digital_Plaza) in Taiwan when he was there to attend [Computex 2011](http://www.computextaipei.com.tw/).

The Sapido MB-1132 was recommended by [Justin Lee](http://justinlee.sg/) and I was impressed by [what it can do](http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/productmb1132k.htm). In a nutshell, it can:

- Charge your USB devices
- Act as a router by plugging in a LAN cable with Internet connectivity to create a Wi-Fi hotspot
- Connect your iPhone/Android phone to it or even a 3G USB Dongle and it can create a Wi-Fi hotspot
- Re-broadcast Wi-Fi (eg: if you paid for Wi-Fi, login to the paid service using MB-1132 and re-broadcast your own Wi-Fi it so others can use it for free)
- Compact & lightweight, good for travelling

There is also a similar model called [Sapido MB-1112 (N+ Mobile 3.75G Modem Router)](http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/productmb1112o.htm). It is identical to the Sapido MB-1132 except that the Sapido MB-1112 does not allow Internet sharing via iPhone/Android/3G Dongle. You have to put in a 3G SIM card in order to create a Wi-Fi hotspot.

I have not seen these devices at any computer stores yet (have not check Sim Lim Square), but checking their website, they do have an office in Singapore:
