My Hotspot

I really like this.

I had been using a Clear 4G USB stick, but after receiving an IPad with only a Lightening port, I swapped the stick for a 4G hotspot. It functions as a broadband WiFi router that can connect to as many as eight devices at once. I leave it powered on in my coat pocket and my WiFi connection follows me everywhere. The Hotspot holds a charge for at least 6 hours and, if necessary, can plug into an AC outlet or USB to recharge while in use.

I think most smartphones have this feature built in, nowadays. I've used the feature on both an iPhone 4 and a Blackeberry running their system 7. A wi-fi network named after my phone appears on my MacBook's AirPort window, and Bob's your uncle. It seems to be pretty quick for most applications—quicker than running Safari on the phone itself, i seems.
