JoikuSpot turns Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots

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.
JoikuSpot Light is in BETA phase, and has not been fully tested against all possible device combinations. JoikuSpot has been successfully tested with phones listed in the download section.
Please make sure that you have the latest firmware on the phone. You can easily update it with Nokia Software Updater.
Known issues:
-JoikuSpot might also work with E60 with new hardware version. With older hardware the JoikuSpot is created, but for unknown reason the connection to internet is disconnected after 10 seconds. If you manage to successfully use JoikuSpot with E60, please let us know. Please also deliver your hardware version, you can get it with *#0000#
-JoikuSpot has been tested successfully with several laptops: Fujitsu-Siemens, Apple Macbook, Dell, HP and new IBM models seem to work well. With older IBM laptops (at least T40P) the connection is not working. The reason behind is the WLAN chipset that the older IBM series is using.
