Sprint has come out with an update to their U300 USB 3G/4G modem that’s decked out in a more compact black shell. Tagged as the U301, the new wireless modem now adds Mac OS X support that gives Mac users running either Leopard or Snow Leopard operating systems the ability to connect to the network’s mobile broadband service. Other than the new look and the added support for Apple’s operating systems, the U301 is pretty much identical to the original U300; it offers 3-6Mb/s speeds within Sprint’s WiMAX-covered areas, 600Kb/s on a typical mobile 3G connection and a built-in GPS receiver.

The U301 is currently offered to business users for $50 with a 2-year contract.
