What's the difference between

1) using WalkingHotSpot
2) manually setting up your own ad-hoc WiFi connection, or
3) simply using a Bluetooth partnership to share the Internet connection?

WalkingHotSpot costs $24.99, has no demo version and, as far as I can see, doesn't do anything that other methods (or a USB cable) can accomplish. Or, am I missing something?

As far as I'm concerned, using Bluetooth to share an Internet connection is virtually fool-proof and entirely intuitive.
