What if the Apple 'Media Tablet' that is supposed to launch with Verizon service had this same feature? It's got an internal 3G connection but it can also broadcast a Wifi hotspot with Bonjour!
That would be an amazing gadget.
- thwarted 17y agoIt's not so much a matter of capability as it is a matter of carrier restrictions. The carrier restrictions keep an app that does this for the T-Mobile G1 from being easily distributed (and I think it requires rooting your phone, last I checked). So the amazing gadget already exists, it's the contractual agreements that need to be made amazing.
