Mobile Hotspot Feature in Windows Phone 7

Posted by Todd on Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Looks like Windows Phone 7 Mango will be getting a mobile hotspot feature.

I for one am looking forward to that. I can use it to quickly get online with my laptop when no WiFi is available. I have an android device (Samsung 551) that can do hotspot as well, but my Samsung Focus is my main device and its a pain having to SIM swap.

     I only have two USB ports. Usually my mouse is in one and a memory key in the other. It also doesn’t work if you want to tether to an IOS device.
