This is an USB-stick size of access point. Any Windows XP computer connect an internet via HotSpot, xDSL, etc and have USB port can be shared broadband by this access point. This product will be available in Europe soon. It is not router but connection can be shared upto 10 compuiters at the same time. This AP may be a solution for FONERAS in cofé, restaurant, etc. I have a product called “hotspot-mini”. This is an USB-stick size of access point.

I can call "voip" or get called "voip" in any shop with Wifi... Hence I tried to connect to a lot of Fonero's but they seem to turned down their Fon... or you had no connection outside their residential homes... Also you had to "surf" first to the fon page before you can connect... With non-fonero's (and people who don't use WEP) I can connect without having to surf... it connects by itself... hmm I bought myself an Nokia E70… I can call “voip” or get called “voip” in any shop with Wifi… Hence I tried to connect to a lot of Fonero’s but they seem to turned down their Fon… or you had no connection outside their residential homes…

Who could I talk to about it? now what would be really nice is if they bundled that with a 12 month subscription to an ISP that lets customers share their broadband . . . any interest in this?

Skype is available for download on many models of pocket pc's. I tried this with an Ipac some time ago and it worked fine. My Ipac was below the memory requirements for skype so it struggled a lot, a newer model should work fine. Bernard – if your pocket pc has a web browser, most do, you can use FON & skype already!

Wifi coverage is still too rare not to have GSM. And I do not want to have two phones... Except if I use the Skype phone only at home... Good news, but it seems that it do not support GSM.
