A big tick in the ‘reasons to buy a T-Mobile G1‘ column this morning with the announcement that it can be used as a wireless broadband modem, albeit with a little bit of jerry-rigging…
The solution allows lucky G1 owners to share their data connection with a laptop over a USB port. It is a tad complicated, but the net result is broadband on the go by turning the phone into a wireless dongle. Reading the creator’s own notes, it is not a full blown tethering solution as it only provides web access, but it is certainly a step in the right direction!
Be warned, it’s a tad complicated so you could wait for more elegant solutions down the line, but this one works. Now.
Check out the T-Mobile G1 tethering instructions here.
