Hi all,
I just wanted to post a quickie about a piece of software I have discovered called "JoikuSpot" over at www.joikuspot.com
JoikuSpot runs on your mobile phone, and basically turns your phone into a WiFi hotspot. In fact i am writing this post right now on my laptop via a WiFi connection to JoikuSpot running on my Nokia E90. The E90 is connected to the internet via 3G.
Now JoikuSpot is Beta software and for example only supports http at present, but given I have never managed to get my E90 to act as a modem for my MacBook Pro it is already proving to be awesome! I have the seven fifty a month for 120gb data tariff from Vodafone, so it's not costing me much as long as I am sensible of course. The software itself is FREE!!!
I can't wait to see what later version of the code look like, it'd be cool to have support for a full range of protocols and perhaps if the system ran a bit like www.fon.com where you could allow free access to people you know and paid access to others.
Anyway, if you have a mobile with WiFi (like a Nokia E90 or N95) I'd seriously recommend giving JoikuSpot a go.
