Well, just read somewhere that on version 4.3, your iPhone can be a modem. So, whoever have an iPad wifii can simply get connected by using your iPhone. This is a good news. Time to buy an iPad. Really eyeing on this gadget but worry about 3G and wifii cause I do not want to jailbreak my iPhone to make it as a modem. And on the other hand, I also do not want to wast a few bucks on 3G iPad. Hopefully 4.3 will release soon.

If you google, you should find a way to install mywi easily. I did it for a few of my friends iphone. Just like you install any normal apps.

Good luck

I think blackberry only have usb tethering. Cannot do wifi tethering aka wifi hotspot.

Or u can do bluetooth tethering refer here http://forums.crackberry.com/f134/finally-...ifi-ftw-475732/

But it is quite troublesome.

Or the best way, is sell ur blackberry and buy android phone or other phone that support wifi hotspot. That's wat i did, i sold my bold 9700 and buy htc desire.

I've been thinking like wat u think, i love bbm... But then whynot use ym? Msn? Gtalk? Watsapp? All r the same instant messaging, u can talk with each other not only to bb owner. And the best part is surfing the net on ur touch screen phone is awesome compare to the small screen and lag blackberry. That's why i dump my bb and buy better phone wi more functions... Bb now is obselete bcoz we have more choice on better spec phone and internet connectivity for 24/7 r cheap now compare to 10 years ago when bb is the major player of mobile internet.

I am not sure about BB wifi teethering or can it even be done. Basically wifi teethering is running a software on your phone to utilise your phone 3G services and make your phone into a wifi hotspot so that other devices like laptop or ipad can connect and suft the net. So do BB has a wifi teethering software or not? You might want to google for that.

So before you rush out to get a new phone to do teethering, make sure you check if that particular phone model can do teethering.

I love using iPad at home, especially bedtime. Laptop too heavy. Net book kinda hot n battery can't last long as iPad.

I using hero n x10 for Gtalk.

I still prefer using Mifi for Internet connection.
