Sometimes hackers confuse us, and sometimes they make a little sense, and sometimes we’re a little caught in between as we are with this iPad 3G hack with Verizon MiFi. Now, this isn’t what you think it is. Unlike what Sprint (NYSE: S) has been pushing with its Overdrive Hotspot paired with an iPad, one particular hacker completely integrated the innards of a Verizon (NYSE: VZ) MiFi into the iPad itself, effectively turning the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) machine into a mobile hotspot with Internet access.With a little bit of intuition and creativity, and a lot of trial and error, one user managed to use some of the iPad’s existing parts, such as its antenna and leads, to make a Verizon MiFi work its wonders on Apple’s now-more-magical tablet. And since this particular user was seeing horrendous AT&T (NYSE: T) data speeds before the MiFi integration, we’d say it was all for the best.
