But, but, but --
Why not simply use the iPad's wifi via the MiFi as a hotspot?
(Yes, I get it; pure hack value. But honestly, other than the hack value, why chop up a piece of kit like the MiFi and void the warranty on the iPad in order to do ... less?)
- spicyj 16y agoIt takes up less space, and you have to carry around only one object instead of two.
- apgwoz 16y agoVelcro the mifi to the back of the iPad when you're carrying it, and "deploy it" when you need it.
- spicyj 16y agoIt's also reasonably sized and doesn't look like a makeshift solution that someone put together in 30 seconds.
