I recently received an ipad to use for some time. This is a first generation iPad and therefore it doesn’t have any 3G. I was very sad because I didn’t know how would I use the iPad instead of the laptop at all times. I tried to look for the details online and didn’t really find anything interesting. Apple didn’t allow any Bluetooth tethering on the device which means that I couldn’t connect my phone to the iPad for internet sharing. I couldn’t find a device like MiFi in india, which could work as a 3G wifi router (also because there is only one service provider for 3G). I was wondering how could I make this a more useful device for travel.
After reading about the Mi-Fi, I recalled something really great that my phone has. I recently got an HTC HD2 for myself. This is a Windows Mobile based phone, and has among the best hardware available at the time. The phone is very powerful and the best part of the phone is that despite it being the ‘windows mobile’, it is awesome. I am sure a lot of people may not agree with me on this one but HTC and Windows Mobile are the best possible combination in mobile phone technology!
HTC HD2 has the capability to work as a WiFi router. This means that whenever I wish to connect to the Internet, I only need to start my phone’s wireless router and share my Internet connection. With an unlimited data plan, there is no issue with the download charges and I can browse, mail, chat and blog using the iPad. In fact this blog is also posted using the same connection!
Technology helps, and it always pays to invest in it at the right time.
