Stumbled across a useful little application for my Nokia N95 the other day. This means I no longer need my USB 3G dongle for my latop when I’m out and about but it also means that I now have Internet access on my iPod touch just about anywhere I go. Almost an iPhone but not quite.
JoikuSpot turns your Symbian S60 mobile phone into a WiFi router – provided you have a WiFi capable phone of course.
A little bit of configuration effort is required to establish the WiFi security credentials on the phone (WEP based encryption supported), start the JoikuSpot service and then match the credentials on the laptop or iPod touch WiFi settings.
Once established the phone acts as your router between the WiFi connected device and your 3G/Edge/GPRS connected network.
Of course your really going to need a cost effective data tariff from your operator – my £7.50 per month unlimited data bolt-on from O2 has never been so valuable.
