My mogul can do this. I would rather not share my data plan.

LOL, you mean the Windows Mobile 6 that the single model iPhone that even hobbled with Edge is already handily outselling and when Exchange support comes out this summer and 3G after will easily finish off?

I've heard of that OS but like the Zen and Dodo, have never actually seen in the wild.

Not Available to mortals

According to their site, you can only purchase the software through your wireless carrier. If it is the opinion of DSLReports that wireless carriers will not like this, the combination does not bode well for this product.

Re: HTC user.

yeah I've got the Mogul...I like to share my internet via wifi over to my laptop. It's nice because it requires no configuration on the computer whatsoever. I'm still trying to figure out if this is different than wmwifirouter.

wmwifi not available either

The only option for wmwifi is a trial version. It says the software expires in April and gives no option/price for purchase.

How is it that you guys have had this for a year, but the options today are so slim?

It used to be a freeware project, but the guys recently decided to go commercial with it. That was when the beta stuff started to kick in.

Just today i received the email announcing version 1.0 is officially out. Since I had filled out their survey I got 5 euros off and since I was an early order customer I got another 5 euros of of the 20 euro pricetag, meaning I picked it up for $14.95 USD which I think is a great price.

I would have gladly paid the ~$30 USD full retail for all this software can do.

Soooo uhm what's the name of the software? Kinda seems important that if you are going through the trouble of creating a tutorial you should at least mention the name of it.

It's built in to WM6. There is no extra software needed.
