Ain’t technology brilliant.

Here I am sitting by the market in lancaster and I’m able to write a full, non mobile phone constrained blog post. OK, I know that you could achieve this with a 3G dongle quite succesfully, but what if you just have your Nokia E71 smartphone and you can’t be messed with all the setup to get it connected via bluetooth and all that jazz?

Well, JokiuSpot is a nifty utility for Nokia (and other) smartphones that sits inbetween your 3G connection (in this case Orange) and then turns your phone into a WiFi point. Yes, that’s right, a propper WiFi point that you can just connect to wirelessly with your PC / Mac whatever. The only downside seems to be that the phone turns red hot and that the battery starts draining as if you’d plugged a 3 bar electric fire into it, however job done.

The free version does this, and the premium (reasonable price) adds support for full encryption and VPN!

Happy days.
