Both gTen's and eric's answers are hopeful. Probably the superior technical solution is to make my HD2 deliver infrastructure WiFi, either by "upgrading" its OS to WP7 or Android. I'll be searching for detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to do this, so I don't brick the HD2; I'm a genuine newbie to doing hacks.

By the way, if the moderator or someone can create a new forum in the "android-other-manufacturers" sub-forum for Viewsonic Viewpad 7, I think that would be helpful. Can this thread be copied or aliased there to start it off?
