Palm Introduces A Mobile Hotspot Application: 5 Tethered Devices At Once

Posted by on Jan 7, 2010 in News | 91 comments

 Palm today also announced a new application coming to WebOS devices that will allow wireless tethering.  The application turns your Pre and Pixi into a wifi hotspot for up to 5 devices at once.  There is currently a homebrew app that allows this via rooting of the pre and loss of your warranty, but instead Verizon will be offering this for a monthly fee similar to their Mifi device.  If anyone had a reason to use the Pre or Pixi, this might just be it.
