said by bignate:this seems like just another device that doesnt needs to just be included in another device. i run a program called wmwifirouter on my att tilt. it turns the phone into a full on wifi router(with security) sharing my 3G connecttion. most days i come to work, start the router program, plug it in then just leave it running all day. i use it for my netbook or laptop for internet and file sharing between devices over the wlan. i even let a few of my co-workers tap into it if it is up.
it was a $30 one time purchase at www.wmwifirouter.com it was well worth the money, and i bet a lot cheaper than this thing.
Fine and dandy for those of you that own a phone that will do this. But I bet the majority of the people cannot. So it just might make sense for a majority of the people.
