Sam Churchill carries around a device like that right now - a battery powered wifi hotspot with a USB port. a Clear wimax USB dongle plugs into that. The device in the story looks more sleek and s Back in 2000, the first cell phones with both GPRS and Bluetooth were supposed to be the gateway between your local devices and the cellular data network. Bluetooth data networking never took off. smartphones already have a 3G connection, a battery, and a wifi radio. "rooted" (aka jailbroken) G1/android phones can do wifi tethering, thought t-mobile discourages it.
