Tether Your Smartphone with WiFi

You may already have a portable, personal WiFi hotspot in your pocket.

A nifty piece of software called "PDAnet" ($29 at JuneFabrics.com) can turn just about any WiFI equipped smartphone into a WiFi-tethered datanet share. 

OK; it's not truly a mutli-connection "hotspot" nor is it as flexible as, say, the MiFi or some of the other devices mention in the earlier article but, if you're the only user for your 3G connection, then this is a swell way to get rid of the USB tether.

PDAnet seems to have the bases covered to work with just about any WiFi-equipped wireless datanet-connected device: smartphone, PDA phone, iPhone, gPhone. If you have one of those in your pocket then with the easy addition of "PDAnet" software you have your own private, portable, cable-free Wifi hotspot.

Nice.
