Thanks to the growing Linux developer community along with the many brilliant programmers contributing to unleashing the power of the Palm Pre, you can now access the Internet by tethering your laptops, desktops, WiFi device to the Palm Pre as a WiFi Router! Once you’ve connected to your Palm Pre with root privileges, you now have access to more than just a smartphone, but a potentially powerful handheld linux workstation/server. A wealth of resources for the Palm Pre are now growing and expanding across the Internet. I was able to take any WiFi-capable device that had a browser (eg iPod Touch) at Best Buys and get it to access the Internet through the Palm Pre. You could also get 2 laptops and a wireless printer to all share the same wireless network or internet connection. The Palm Pre can distribute unique IP addresses for each device requesting WiFi connectivity (DHCP). Despite being Palm’s latest and 1st generation device, it’s easy to see now why so many people have already bought or are anxious to get the Palm Pre. The Palm Pre is truly awesome, it’s so useful. No other smartphone except the Palm Pre can function as a Wireless Router!

This day in history...
