Mobile tech usage at its finest- a mobile WiFi hotspot
Josh Bancroft of TinyScreenfuls is attending a convention in Portland and was not happy that the provided WiFi connection was going to cost him $12.95 per day. So he did what any proper geek would do, tethered his Sprint phone with EVDO to a PC and shared it with friends at the convention. A little mobile WiFi hotspot never hurt anyone. 
I was really impressed with how fast it was – felt very quick – similar to something like a 768Kbps DSL connection. We were downloading and uploading large files (video and audio podcasts) without any trouble. It was awesome.
