Portable wireless hotspot

Portable wireless hotspot?
My sister is studying abroad in Spain at a town where there is little wireless internet available unless you go to an internet cafe. I heard someone mention a "stick" that you can rent that gives you wireless internet when you plug it into your laptop. Is anyone familiar with a product like this? Where do you buy/rent one? How much does it cost? What is it called? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Verizon makes one called the MiFi that you carry around, like in your pocket. I have one but it is a little expensive. Verizon also has aircards that plug into a special slot in your laptop.

Your sister will be able to get 3G dongle from Telefonica - who are the national telecom operator in Spain http://www.telefonica.es (Spanish( In fact Spain is pretty good with Internet penetration - so there will be plenty of choice available and competitive pricing for it too.
