Hot off the press. Well, giffgaff's own website really. It is interesting to see the MVNO launch a set of Data Only Goody Bags. I'll let them tell you in their own words, below.
We have been working on delivering a data only goodybag and I can happily confirm that it these products will go live on the 10th October. In fact we are not launching one data only product but three. These are;
£5 for 500MB
£7.50 for 1GB
£12.50 for 3GB
These products are to use with tablets, like iPads, dongles and other data devices. If you wanted to tether with these data products, unlike our goodybags, you can. These data only bags last for one month and can be bought from balance or with a debit or credit card (much like our goodybags).
If you run over your allowance (e.g. 1GB), well give you an extra 50MB for free. If you then use all of this we have a special data goodybag rate of 2p per MB until the data goodybag expires. We are planning to send you messages to let you know if you have used your allowance, when you start using the free 50MB and again when the 50MB is used up.

Now this is indeed good news for anyone who wants a relatively cheap and easily accessible, no frills, no contract mobile data SIM to use in their laptop, dongle or tablet device. The £7.50 probably offers the best
The giffgaff MVNO is supplied by the O2 network and so the usual caveats apply, check for coverage before you commit too much money. Although, with giffgaff that is quite hard to do, given their tariffs.
I can see myself recommending giffgaff Data Only Goody Bags to anyone asking for advice of a cheap way to get mobile broadband. Well done giffgaff.
