launch2net is a mobile connection manager. With launch2net, you can use your mobile device like a mobile phone, ExpressCard, PC datacard or USB modem to connect your Mac to the Internet in one easy step.
The powerful configuration assistant automatically detects your mobile device and configures your mobile Internet connection in seconds without the need to enter cryptic settings like user names, passwords or modem scripts.
launch2net supports most mobile devices as well as most mobile network operators worldwide for fastest internet connections like HSUPA, 3G UMTS, EDGE and GPRS speeds.
launch2net saves high roaming costs for mobile data as it is possible to use a prepaid card in other countries to connect to the Internet.
For US customers, launch2net works perfectly well with the latest 3G modems, ExpressCards and PC Cards from AT&T and offers much more than just a connect/disconnet button like advanced statistics, autoconnect and disconnect features and a menu icon to connect/disconnect without having to run the software at all.

The publishers (Nova Media) are great guys!
I have no need for the product, but based on the above observation, I would recommend it to anyone who does.

Even at the MacZot price this app is too expensive for what it does. I draw a line between full-fledged applications such as FreewayPro, Pages, Numbers… and mere utilities and one-trick ponies such as LaunchBar and, well, launch2net. Utilities shouldn’t cost more than $25 bucks on MacZot, and no more than $60 regularly.

This is probably handy for people who are on GSM networks (i.e. AT&T, T-mobile, or in Europe and Middle-East) and travel a bit across data networks, requiring profile switches, etc. If this matches your use profile, it looks to be a decent piece of software and a 60% discount off the retail price is pretty good.
However, if you tend to stick around a single region (like the U.S.) or have a non-GSM data plan (like Sprint or Verizon), I don’t see much value in it. Personally, I connect to Sprint EVDO through a Novatel ExpressCard and the built-in Mac Connection Manager works fine.
I do appreciate seeing useful utilities like this on MacZot and that you guys offer a nice broad spectrum of apps. Keep up the good work.
