JoikuSpot turns your Nokia into a WLAN hotspot

THIS is a wicked piece of engineering:

JoikuSpot is a free mobile software solution that turns Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots.

JoikuSpot software is installed directly to the phone. When switched on, laptops and ipods can establish instant and fast wireless internet connection via smartphone’s JoikuSpot access point using phone’s own 3G internet connection.

Multiple devices can connect to JoikuSpot in parallel and seamlessly share the same 3G internet connection. JoikuSpot acts thus as an internet gateway to external WLAN devices.

I can imagine a hundred different reasons why I’d want to do this. Fantastic!

I’ve downloaded it — alas, there’s an incompatibility, I think, between my N95, T-Mobile and the fact I’m roaming. Or perhaps my Nokia is out of date. It does work though, really — really well, according to SMS Text News reader Mike.
