I've used my personal cell phone (non-smart), my work Blackberry (not very smart), a dedicated 3G modem from work, and my personal smartphone for Internet access on the go. I don't have a tablet - just two laptops (work and personal). USB tethering works better for me than WiFi - the phone gets some recharge over the USB and I can only use one laptop at a time. I would imagine that WiFi tethering would use up charge at a high rate - leaving one without a phone if you don't watch out.

I ask because I was quite surprised that my phone data usage is way below my 2GB plan, and would like the phone to let me use my iPad while mobile. (My guess is using it with a laptop would really quickly go over the 2GB!) It makes a lot of sense: a "wifi router" in your pocket. -- Owen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org Ray Parks Consilient Heuristician/IDART Program Manager V: 505-844-4024 M: 505-238-9359 P: 505-951-6084 NIPR: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> SIPR: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (send NIPR reminder) JWICS: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (send NIPR reminder)
