My question is, will the speed be just as good using the iPhone as a Hotspot vrs using a MiFi Box.

I just got my Mifi box a few weeks ago, and its still returnable LOL

Yes, speed is same but keep in mind CDMA limitation is that you can NOT use
data and voice at same time so if you have devices tethered you can not get
calls OR if you get a call your data connection will drop - it is not sure
yet how this will work, I have had both experiences using Hot Spot feature
on my Android device...

How can anyone know how the new gear will perform before it's even on the
market?

You can speculate -- but the Real World has a way of confounding even the
most "knowledgeable" pundit.

It depends on two things: How good of a connection you get, and how much
data you're going to need. AT&T's data plan caps out at 2GB, unless you
were able to "grandfather" with the unlimited plan, which won't allow
tethering. Verizon's limit is 5GB.

Speed and connection may vary depending on where you are. Where we use our
Verizon MiFi in rural southern Indiana, my AT&T connection is total crap but
the Verizon connection is fantastic. My husband's work-provided phone is
Verizon, and so far we haven't found anywhere in Indiana where he doesn't
get a far faster connection than my AT&T iPhone. But I've heard people in
other states say the opposite, so YMMV.

I already have wifi hotspot capability on my Palm Pre Plus, on Verizon. It works great -- and it's free, up to 5 Gb per month. I use it fairly frequently with my ipod touch when I'm on the road and need to check something.

Perhaps some of our Verizon users could comment on what hotspot use
does to battery life.

What I don't understand - why on earth would I want to create a wifi hotspot? I see this commercial where someone sits down, creates a hotspot, and everybody around them starts using it. I have a hard enough time keeping spammers, pedophiles, pornographers, phishers, keyboard loggers, trojan horses, and other scum out of my affairs as it is without giving them wifi access through my phone. Wouldn't they also be bandwidth vampires running up my data usage and costing me additional fees?

What am I missing here?

I am sure it can be password protected.

But i would use it with my iPad or laptop.

You password protect it and I know many full time rvers who use hotspots to connect at least two computers to the internet. I'm sure there are others who use all five connections.

You would have the option of password protecting your hotspot so you could, for instance, use it with your wifi laptop but no one else could use it.

I don't know why the commercials show a bunch of random people in the park using it. Makes no sense to me.

Last night my power went out (fortunately only for about 10 minutes).

If I had Wifi hotspot capability, I could have activated it and continued online with my laptop, even though the DSL modem and the Airport wireless router were dead.

Supposedly, as I have been following the Pimlical listserv, CSED is not
going to develop for the iphone because he can't have direct access to the in
phone calendar. Apple's restrictions are such a concern he will not even
try :-(

Is there a way to listen to a radio station on a 3G if the station doesn't
have an online site? Thanks.

A couple of hundred stations do have dedicated iPhone apps, it is wonderful to have a "one tap" icon on the screen and get a distant station when I am driving. Radio networks such as Clear Channel have applications that let you select the city and station, but of course those are unworkable while you are driving.

If the station has no online presence at all, you are out of luck - but - the iPhone is rumored to already have an FM chip embedded. We can hope that IOS 4.3 will activate it. The last I heard, Apple was holding back until they could find a way for the user to tag a song and buy it in iTunes. But I hope they abandon that and just let us use the radio.

Try the iHeart radio App.

I sync Google with my phone. It's a one way thing. My phone doesn't go to Google but Google goes to my phone.
