No personal experience of this, but you could try taking an unlocked 3G dongle (as long as it's compatible with US bands and networks) and using a T-mobile SIM card with Sidekick (http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/Prepaid-Plans.aspx). This would cost $1 per day.
You'd be well advised to check coverage in the specific area you intend to visit before you spend any money.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
