[Hidden-tech] MIFI - mobile internet

[Paul Stallman]

I tether my T-Mobile android phone with a free app called pdanet its on the
marketplace.  Doesn't require rooting the phone. Works great.  Just requires
using a USB cable. Bluetooth is supported as well.

There are wiring tethering options if you root your phone.

Interesting that today Verizon announced it would begin selling the iPhone
in February.

One news article had an interesting comparison between Verizon and AT&T's
version of the iPhone --
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/verizons-iphone-4-vs-atts-iphone-4-twins-compared/
.

The Verizon version allows it to be a mobile hotspot, while AT&T locks it
down.

The Verizon version doesn't allow simultaneous data and voice. So, you can't
check out an address or
map location while talking to someone. With AT&T you can.

And, of course, Verizon has different data plans and prices, not yet
announced.
