Re: Maybe an iPod Touch and a Nokia S60 phone would do... Just tried it out and setup was painless. What a great app! Note owever that JoikuSpot creates a publicly accessible hotspot while it is running. Others can actually connect without you knowing.
I'm sure they will address this on the next versions.

Re: Maybe an iPod Touch and a Nokia S60 phone would do... Wow! Great news. That means Safari browsing anywhere! =)
OK lang kahit may bayad sa 3G. Sana merong WEP key man lang.
TFS.

Re: Maybe an iPod Touch and a Nokia S60 phone would do... Great tip Reggie! How much does a Nokia S60 cost? And it's usable by ANY WiFi device, awesome.

Re: Maybe an iPod Touch and a Nokia S60 phone would do... @Patrick: When I say S60, I mean a Nokia phone with a Symbian S60 OS on it. There are lots of models -- mostly the E and N-series.
@Les: yes, the eee is another perfect device for it, so is the Mylo 2, and of course the iPhone for a 3G connection
