Android 2.2 Might Include Built-in Tethering
AndroidGuys brings news of another tastey tidbit that may be in Froyo (Android 2.2), built-in USB and Wi-Fi tethering. Froyo is the code name for Android 2.2, which is expected to be officially unvieled during the Google I/O conference on May 19. Tethering enables users to connect computers to mobile phones and use the phone’s Internet connection. PDAnet and EasyTether are two programs that add USB tethering to existing versions of Android, but to date Wi-Fi tethering is not possible without jailbreaking the phone.
Wi-Fi tethering basically turns mobile phones into a Wi-Fi access point.
