UPDATE: See my step-by-step HOWTO guide on how to install USB/WiFi/Bluetooth tethering on your Nexus One over at my new blog Nexus One Hacks!
Probably as soon as “wifi” tethering is available for the Nexus One, I might start hacking my own Nexus One phone (sorta like I did with my Palm Pre) bu
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.

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.

What do you get when you mix an RC car, netbook, and WiFi? You get the DIY WiFi Netbook RC car that you can control over WiFi and also stream video/audio via ethernet.
This could be a fun project for those of you who want to make a WiFi robot with your old netbook.
This project is basically an RC car that you can control over a local network or the Internet. Real time video and audio feeds are available to the operator and observers of the car. Unlike many other solutions for allowi
