Palm Pre Plus Hack – How to WiFi Tether without Paying $40/month!

My good friend Raja, the developer of the original Palm Pre Wifi tethering app, has just pinged me that his My Tether app now officially supports WiFi tethering on the Palm Pre Plus, meaning you won’t have to pay $40/month for Mobile HotSpot. (You will have to pay one time donation of $14.95 but still, that beats paying $480 a year to Verizon. For what?)

See details on the Palm Pre Hacks Blog here.

Virgin Airlines WiFi Speed Test!

As promised before my venture at CES 2010, I did do a bunch of speed tests on my flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas.  It was a rather short flight of one and a half hours but it was enough time for me to do a bunch of speed tests at different locations (I mean location of speed tests).

On average, I did get about 0.22 to 0.50Mbps download speed and upload stayed same around 0.23Mbps.

It was pretty zippy to do most of web browsing but you probably don’t want to upload anything over those networks.

I think in the future airline WiFi speeds should get faster and

Virgin Airlines Speed Test

So, I am actually on a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas for the CES 2010 show, live blogging from Virgin and Google’s free WiFi.  I did couple speed tests as shown in below screen shots, the upload speed actually isn’t too bad, just download isn’t super fast.  Still, most of sites loaded fairly fast and comparable to a USB broadband card, perhaps bit slower.

I am also uploading a short video clip of the speed test so watch out for that too.

Ford will be Adding WiFi with Broadband USB Add-on Capability to its SYNC Mobile System!

Ford will become the first car manufacturer to have WiFi on-board except with a twist, users can simply plug-in their Verizon or Sprint USB Broadband dongle to share internet via in-car WiFi with others (or just for yourself).

I think this is a much better idea than trying to sell in-car internet services through proprietary technology as no one will buy that plus a a USB broadband dongle can be carried off the car.

For one, I already own 2 USB Broadband cards, Ford will make consumers like me to get the car and improve my WiFi experience in the car.

I have to a
