In this video John Crispin from Fon shows how a Fonera can obtain WiFi from a 3G modem. If you are a developer and would like to write apps for the new Fonera 2.0 pls write to iurgi@fon.com.

I cannot believe this can so easy, now I have to try it.
Second, when will the fonera launch?
Sigo viendo, con bronca … desde este lado del oceano ( Vivo en Uruguay !!! ) , que seguire siendo un pseudo fonero … por no poder acceder a las foneras !!! 
PARA CUANDO FON EN SUDAMERICA ???
el chiquiliiiin que lo miraba de afueraaa ….. con la niata contra el vidrio.
uffff … que bronca !!!
I mean, when will the fonera 2.0 launch? I’m not a developer
Be careful with the 3G network! Listening to Internet radio, my wife ran up a bill of 600 euro in ONE NIGHT while on vacation in Denmark. She was trying to use a WiFi connection … but at some point the nokia must have switched to 3G.
@ David:
Yes, this is a real worry with this type of fonera. It should only be used within your country, if you travel with it the 3G operators kill you. What they do with roaming in a borderless Europe is highly unethical.
I have one of those 3G devices in Sweden and I also would like to be able to get Wifi. When is that app going to be released Martin? I assume we will need Fonera 2.0 to be able to run that, right?
BTW, I have unlimited 3G bandwith so I’m okay with that, I won’t pay 600 € bill or something.
Yes Martin, off course I would like to write apps to the Fonera and test it. I’m in fon beta testers group and I’ve got question. When we can except Fonera 2.0 for free to testers??
@ ddluk:
pls send me an email at martinvars@me.com and i will send you one and send one to those who will write apps, all i need is an email telling me what you would like to do
Dani Santi la fonera 2.0 was released in 14 oct

This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.
