This seems pretty interesting. Haven't tried it so I can not comment on how good or bad it works. Uses phone (or broadband card/usb modem) signal to push out wifi. It has a rechargable battery. Would anyone else have anymore info on this? Thanks.

What does this have to do with the Touch Pro?
Speaking of which you can already do this with the Touch Pro anyways...

IDK... Maybe some people would rather have hardware than software. Or maybe they have mutliple devices like the TP and a USB Modem. I was just searching the Sprint site to see if they had Video Out cables and found that. I was just wondering if anyone had more info on it. WMWIFIROUTER needs internet sharing to work, Sprint disables that in their devices. I know there are hacks to get around that, I was wondering if this device needs you to do the same internet sharing hacks or if it would work without it? Geez...

Probably save battery life.
