Re: Mogul and WMWifirouter in the news
ChainFire went mainstream. In a day or two we'll see lots of posts about finding this app. (Well a lot more than we do now)

Re: Mogul and WMWifirouter in the news
I got an email from the WMWiFIRouter folks letting me know that their 1.0 version is available and that if I wish, I could buy it. It was cheap enough, and I have seen it's value so I paid the 9.99 EURO they where charging.
I do have the software pointing to "SprintPCS" not "Phone as a modem" I do see the "data" numbers changing on the new sprint website, but it keeps reading as "unlimited" so I keep using it. I used to tether via BT on my old 6700 and my mac (Painfully slow, but it did work), and when I had a pc laptop I'd use a usb cable. I like the WMWiFiThingie concept better. |

Re: Mogul and WMWifirouter in the news
$15 is too much to make a $300-500 phone into a wifi hotspot? I feel like if I can afford the phone and I use the app it's only fair to pay for it. $15 is nothing compared to the cost of the device or even a SERO plan. I guess it's good to have the old version out for free so people can test it but for such a good app I have no problem kicking out $10-20. I spend that much in a few days of eating lunch out anyway

Re: Mogul and WMWifirouter in the news
I have a verizon data card available to use, but I choose to get a mac, and the card I was given is a regular pcmcia card. I have been using my old PPC6700 to tether via BT which is SLOWWWWWWW but it worked, after I found wmwifirouter I saw the speed jump, then 2 weeks ago when I swapped my old 6700 for a 6800 I got even better numbers using wifirouter.
I travel several times a year, and a lot of hotels are starting to charge its customers for going online. The last time I was in San Diego the hotel was charging $12.95 for a day's connection. Even at the hospital where my mom was they charged 8 bucks a days for going online (which I ended up paying). So shelling out 15 bucks for something that will save money in the long run was a no brainer. |

Re: Mogul and WMWifirouter in the news
for those learning about it, I just went on vacation and used wmwifi with my eeepc in the car for internet access. no, I wasn't driving at the time. kept the kids entertained when they got sick of movies. I also used it in the car as a remote sagetv client to stream live tv from home. very choppy, but it did work. 15 bucks is a bargain to make a pricey phone even more useful.
