MiFi Gets an API: A Wifi Hotspot In Your Pocket, With Apps
- paul9290 17y agoAt this time I do not have cell phone service. I do have an iPod Touch and was thinking about skipping get cell service and just ues iTouch with this MiFi to communicate(email, SMS, skype, twitter). I saw this mentioned on Cnet, but I wonder if anyone else has done this and how has the experience been? Are you saving money and is it reliable? Verizon EVDO was always solid throughout the country.
- joshu 17y agoI suspect skype over EVDO will suck, given the latencies involved.
- paul9290 17y agoI used it back in 06 via my Windows Mobile on EVDO and don't recall calls dropping. More so was a clunky interface, which was not great for answering calls while driving. I'm out to save money and I'm not a huge phone person, rather more of Internet communicator. I canceled cell svc a few months ago and only one time I wished I had a cell when I got a flat tire.
- inklesspen 17y agoI used skype over EVDO frequently at my last job. Worked just fine.
- joshu 17y agoDoes anyone know what this API might do? It looks like you have to sign up to read it. I am too lazy/paranoid/etc.
