Those of you who've been participating in Fon's plan to take over the world by sharing your bandwidth over Wi-Fi will probably be interested to know the company today launched the Fonera 2.0n. The Fonera 2.0n is an updated version of their Fonera Wi-Fi router with 802.11N, but according to the company press release it also adds BitTorrent support, NAS support, and support for social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. The new device costs $99, plus $10 shipping from the Fon website.

Fon's big lure of course is that if you set up a router, you get access to other users' Fonera's wherever you go (there's about 650,000 of them globally) -- assuming you couldn't already find a Wi-Fi connection or have a 3G/4G data card. While Fon was ridiculously over hyped when it burst onto the scene in 2006, and the deals with ISPs they've struck (Time Warner Cable being the major one here in the States) haven't really materialized into much of anything. What was supposed to be a revolution turned out to be more like a small parade.

Still, $99 is an ok price for the amount of functionality this new Fonera offers, assuming you want to be tied into the Fon family of hotspot owners. Fon, which struggled with profitability after nearly giving away Foneras for a while, recently announced they're also exploring the idea of integrated femtocells, though that would require the ok of wireless phone companies, who probably won't want Fon muscling in on their own femtocell plans.
