Install WMWifiRouter to your phone, run the application, and it automatically sets up an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network named WMWifiRouter that you can connect your laptop&mdash;or any other wireless device&mdash;to without going through the regular pain involved in tethering an internet connection to your mobile device.&quot;</em></p><br /><p>I was talking with Steve Hughes from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bostonpocketpc.com/">Boston Pocket PC</a> the other day and he gave me a quick heads up on this really cool new application for WiFi enabled devices.&nbsp; It allows you to share the data plan on your mobile deivce with other WiFi enabled devices like your laptop.&nbsp; No more headaches with Bluetooth pairing and lack of DUN on your device.&nbsp; If you have WiFi on your device, this tool makes it possible to share that data plan.&nbsp; Unfortunately for me, I don't have wireless on my new BlackJack II so I can't give this a whirl.&nbsp; Anyone here installed this? Please let us know your thoughts on it. </p>
