Turn your SmartPhones into Wi-Fi Hotspots with free software

Aimed towards SmartPhones running on Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating systems, TapRoot Systems is offering free software that can turn your SmartPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot and let other wireless users use your phone to access Internet.

The software is called WalkingHotSpot and is available as a free download from TapRoot’s web site. Once the software is installed onto a smartphone, it can let devices such as computers, gaming devices and MP3 players access Internet using the smartphone.

WalkingHotSpot is a patent pending solution that is secure, easy to setup and simple to use. It transforms 3G/Wi-Fi™ smartphones into hotspots that enable multiple client devices (laptops, MP3 players, gaming devices, etc) to connect to the Internet anywhere there is mobile network coverage.

The WalkingHotSpot solution supports multiple devices simultaneously through secure connections. The application is specifically designed to be power-efficient, robust and end-user friendly. The solution can be downloaded today on Wi-Fi enabled smartphones using Symbian® S60 and Windows Mobile® operating systems, with more operating systems support in development.
