Pre Palm Plus provides features for creating and Wi-Fi sharing

Palm Pre, is the latest generation smartphone from Palm. An interesting product, by bringing a mobile platform that is different from the previous generation of Palm OS, Palm OS web. Great mobile operating system, different from the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. Palm Pre smartphone design is elegant too impressed.

Palm Pre first generation was introduced in 2009 in the United States, through the Sprint Nextel network. Furthermore, Palm Pre Plus already available through Verizon Wireless network.

Weaknesses that still arise from Palm Pre & Palm Pre Plus this is a problem of availability of applications. All this is still “just about” 1000 applications available for Palm Palm Pre & Pre Plus. Very far behind when compared with the iPhone, which is very diverse applications.

But there is a feature that makes the Palm Pre Plus has a special attraction; Mobile Hot Spot. Ie applications that make the Palm Pre Plus (or Smartphone Plus; brother Palm Pre Plus a more “light”) can create and share your Wi-Fi networks with other devices.

With a Palm Pre Plus we can share the Internet connection with multiple devices (maximum five) via Wi-Fi wireless connection. We activate the Mobile Hot Spot applications and setting up passwords, then the mobile device around which already supports Wi-Fi, can detect the Palm Pre Plus as a Wi-Fi “Hot Spot” with a “WebOS Network”. Once the appropriate password to enter the 3G data connection Palm Pre Plus can be shared to other devices, interesting is not it?.

Its scope is quite impressive, a technology columnist at Businessweek magazine recorded a distance of about 60 meters that can still be reached with a Wi-Fi Palm Pre Plus. With a fairly good connection speed.

One of the constraints of this feature is quite a lot of battery power drain. Therefore advisable to provide battery backup. But compared to the sensation of having a “Hot Spot” itself seems a weakness is not too large.
