Wireless Internet Sharing...

I think we all have the same idea. After looking at the ipod touch, its lack of BT, has us all thinking....

iPod touch --wifi ---> PDA phone ----> EVDO

well, maybe not all of us, but that's what I'm thinking. Make the ipod Touch browse through my evdo connection.

I've spent the better part of the past 3 hours poking around. There's this "controlap" which is a java app that proportedly runs on WM devices. I'm trying that now but I'm having issues getting it going that I'm half-a$$ing my way though. The link there is http://controlap.com/

What started me on this was demonstrating how easy it was and the security implications for anyone to masquerade as an AP. Then, of course, I was thinking -- with a PDA, man would that be dangerous and would certainly demonstrate the security point I was trying to make. Of course, a quick tier 4 search (google) and I come across this link

So, someone already thought the same thing.

I'm still thinking. If I get controlap to work, I'll let you know. Otherwise, it might be one of those things that take a few weeks off and figure out and write some code at the same time -- I'd rather just play integrator, mind you (don't we all).
