UQ Communications announce MAC support

As I previously reported, UQ Communications’ Modacom devices were likely to support MAC OS; now it is official:

Both devices by Shinsei Corp (Modacom) now support MAC OS as well as Microsoft Windows:

UD01SS and UD02SS provide download links to Sofrware and Manual.

Update:

UQ Communications Host Support – No Linux, No MAC

As I reported in  UQ Communications Data Cards and Chip Vendors , UQ Communications UD01SS is actually Korean Modacom‘s device, using GCT Semi chipset.

None of UQ Communications devices support MAC OS or Linux, which caused discontent in the Japanese technical community (Early Adopters and Apple Fans).

But when checking Modacom website for similar WiBRO devices, they do support MAC OS, which makes me think Shinsei Corporation or UQ Communications didn’t want to deal with the complexity of supporting  Operating Systems other than Windows (XP, Vista) at this time.
