HotSpots no more?
You don’t need those HotSpots anymore if your smartphone has wifi. Then again, what smartphones has no wifi? That phone can automatically turn YOU into a hotspot wherever you go. Yes, people, smartphone owners and tech geeks, your smartphone can be turned into a wifi router!
What you need to make your smartphone a walking hotspot is this: Taproot Systems’ WalkingHotSpot software
You can even go to their site and test the software out for free. Taproot plans to sell this software to carrier and not individuals so while it’ still in its early stages and accessible to all, I guess you try it out because it gets expensive.
North Carolina-based TapRoot Systems today announced its WalkingHotSpot software, designed to effectively turn a Wi-Fi- and mobile broadband-enabled handset into a Wi-Fi router. At launch, WalkingHotSpot will be available only for Windows Mobile or Symbian Series 60 smartphones. TapRoot CEO Bob Bicksler said.
A free demo version will be available for individuals to download from TapRoot’s Web site, Bicksler said. However, the demo will only support one Wi-Fi connection at a time.
