The second generation of iPhone comes with 3G support which allows you to hook up to the Internet with super high-speed HSPA Internet connection. It’s a good idea to share your iPhone’s Internet connection to some of your computers nearby via WiFi.
PdaNet, developed by June Fabrics Technology, has been a popular application for Palm OS and Windows Mobiles-based devices, which turns them into a WiFi router that other computers and gadgets can share the Internet connection. Now, a latest version of this app has been made available for the Apple iPhone, but it’s only usable on a jail-broken iPhone.
Having the PdaNet installed on your jail-broken iPhone, the iPhone can then serve as a WiFi router which lets other computers and gadgets nearby to share its Internet connection via WiFi network.
Having your iPhone to serve as a WiFi Internet router surely drains the battery quickly. So, it’s recommended to charge the iPhone at the same time while it’s being used as a router. I guess the iPhone will get little hot too after it’s been used continuously for a couple of hours with tons of IP packets pumping through it.
