stock 2.2 update for droid wont include any tethering Droid won't get hot spot feature with Froyo update | Android Atlas - CNET Blogs
Tell me, what are some practical (or even just plain fun) uses for turning your android phone into a hot spot? Tethering, I understand, you can use your phone's internet connectivity on your laptop, but why a mobile hotspot? Simply to do the same thing on more than one laptop?
Here's a "real world" recent experience that I had. Was down at my mother-in-laws a few weeks ago and she has no Internet and lives in a valley where she barely gets good cell service. However, in a specific spot on her back porch, I can get almost full bars of 3G (go figure).
Anyways, I was able to set my Droid on a chair in that area, go in the house and sit at the dining room table and connect to the web. Really slick!
