Dashboard Image for MyWi

Need a Wifi Hotspot? Look no further, MyWi is here! Don’t you hate when you’re out for coffee and you want to get some work done, but the coffee shop you’re at doesn’t have a WiFi hotspot? You could try tethering, but it drains your notebook battery too quickly and who wants to deal with constant freezing and crashing.

If you’ve got a jailbroken iPhone and 3G signal, you can create your own Wifi Hotspot with MyWi.

For $9.99 multiple devices can connect to your MyWi signal including notebooks, iPads and other mobile devices at the same time. Want to make it a secure connection? Not to worry MyWi offers 40 & 104 bit WEP Security so you don’t have some dillhole using up all your data. An additional awesome feature is the blue up/down bandwidth usage bar that is located at the top of your screen.

PROS:

-MyWi is simple to use and doesn’t crash & freeze.

- Support is available for iPhone 2G/3G/3Gs running 3.1 and newer.

-10 day free trial is available if you just want to give it a test drive before you purchase.

-Blue status bar shows you the amount of bandwidth you’ve used.

-Create a WiFi Hotspot virtually anywhere

-Worth the $9.99 for this product.

CONS:

-The purchase process can be confusing if you’re not paying attention.

-Keep a wall or car charger handy for your iPhone. Battery life does suffer when using this app for long periods.

-If you don’t have a 5 or 6gig data plan then I wouldn’t suggest this app.

If I were to give MyWi a mark … I think it would be 4 out of 5. The pros way out weigh the cons on this app.
