Thanks

For WiFi you could get something like a Verizon Mifi, or a similar device from your preferred carrier.

or just use a jailbroken iphone with MyWi (makes a wifi hotspot out of your 3G internet connection from phone)... I have a verizon MiFi for work for use when I travel and my wifi hotspot on my iphone 4 on AT&T is way faster...

I also use my jailbroke iPhone 4 for both wifi via MiFi and using it hooked into the video in ports, I stream my home tv via Slingbox / slingplayer to the car.

Maybe I need to jailbreak my iPhone 4 and do something like that.

AT&T just now finally gave us the 3G because they were scared all of their customers in the area would switch to the Verizon iPhone, due to it having 3G and better coverage. Now I can actually utilize my phone for something like this.

Great idea guys.

...too bad my phone is on 4.3 (developer beta) and can't be jailbroken yet.

Whats a jailbroken phone?

It's only for iPhones (or iPod touch, iPad), but it allows you to install more and different 3rd-party software than you originally can.

I agree with Felixgun and Stompor I have T-moble (HTC 2 not jail broken) and it works great with my computers and TV's in the Yukon. If you have an Android phone you can download the Wi-Fi Router from the Marketplace on the phone. It will save you alot of money.
