Turn Your Windows Mobile Phone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot with WMWiFiRouter

Proof positive that you can't judge a product by its awful, awful name, WMWiFiRouter turns nearly any Windows Mobile phone into Wi-Fi hotspot, one you can tap into with your notebook, iPod touch, or any other Wi-Fi-enabled device.

If WMWiFiRouter sounds familiar, that's because I wrote about it back when it was still in development. Now a finished product with a new 1.20 release, the program leverages your phone's built-in Wi-Fi to share its Internet connectivity with devices in range. (It can also share access via Bluetooth and USB.)

The software runs on most Windows Mobile 5/6 phones, though you'll want to check the developer's list of compatible devices. WMWiFiRouter will set you back $29.99, a price that includes lifetime upgrades. Not sold? Download the free 21-day trial version. In the meantime, hit the Comments and brainstorm on a better name for this cool tool. [via AppScout]
