There is a great application for Symbian devices called JoikuSpot produced by JoikuSoft. What JoikuSpot does, is connect to your mobile phones 3G or 2G data connection, and then creates a WiFi hotspot, to share that connection. Always remember to have a data plan on your mobile account though, or else data charges will soon mount up!
A great example of a use case for this is if you have a Symbian device and an iPod Touch. When you are outside of WiFi coverage for your iPod Touch, just fire up JoikuSpot, connect to the WiFi hotspot that it creates, and you can then surf and browse the internet, iTunes store or whatever via your 3G connection. You could even make VOIP calls from your iPod using the connection!
What causes me to write this post, is that under normal circumstances, even taking how brilliant JoikuSpot is, it’s difficult to recommend because of the price. Ordinarily it retails at 25 Euros which is very expensive for an application, especially given the exchange rate of the UK pound to the Euro at the present time.
However, for a limited period, JoikuSpot is being offered, direct from the developers website for a bargain 7 Euros! This really is a great price for this application considering it’s full RRP.
If you have been meaning to buy JoikuSpot for a while, then now is your best time to do so.
