About this Property

The Netherlands — A software developer Thursday introduced a Windows application enabling Windows Mobile smartphones to host Wi-Fi hotspots. WMFWifiRouter 1.20, compatible with both PCs and Macs, provides Internet sharing via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.

Created by Morose Media, the hotspot software avoids monthly fees charged by cellular providers, charging a one-time $29.99 price. A 21-day free trial is also available.

“Need to update your blog while you’re on a family road trip? How about send a last minute document to a demanding client? If you have a signal on your phone and WMWifiRouter, you’re good to go.” Morose Media CEO Werner van Alphen said in a statement.

Along with creating a Wi-Fi hotspot, the application can also use USB or Bluetooth for wireless Internet connections that are not as battery-hungry.
