Using my Mogul as a wireless access point?

Is it possible to use your phone as a wireless access point so my laptop,psp,iphone could use the sprint network to surf the web? Something similar to an adhoc network like the PS3 uses?

Any ideas?

You can use the Mogul as a modem by connecting with USB or a Bluetooth PAN. There's currently no way to set up a WAP with Wifi, though.

Yeah I use BT for my laptop (works great) but for devices like my psp and iphone that dont have bluetooth its a pain in the ass to get on the schools network to surf.

Wonder if I could figure something out....Hmmmmmm.

If you want something to try, try this. Get your laptop on the sprint network via your mogul, then enable internet connection sharing on your laptop. Setup your laptop's wifi to be an adhoc network and join your other gadgets to that network.
