Palm’s mobile hotspot – or – what’s new in webOS 1.4

I have to apologize for my delay in catching up with the news on this matter, but business stress – you know how it goes. Either way, the folks at Palm’s have announced quite a few interesting things at the CES:

Pre / Pixi will get WiFi routing
The first, and IMHO most important statement: your Pre or Pixi will soon be able to connect up to five laptops, iPods, etc to the internet by acting as a WiFi router.

Video recording
Another must-have feature is on its way: our Pres will soon be able to record videos officially.

Beta Flash 10 support
Nothing to say here. Nothing.

In the end, there is little to say here except cool. The idea with the Mobile Hotspot is nothing short of a strike of genius – even though the folks at JoikuSpot’s might just have a few issues with it…
