Connectify: Virtual WiFi Hotspot on Windows 7

This is something cool for all new Windows 7 owners. There was one feature in Windows 7 that did not make the cut, which was Virtual WiFi. This basically allows you to create virtual wireless adapters out of your single wireless LAN card. What does this mean to consumers? It’ll allow your wireless LAN card to BOTH connect to your WiFi internet connection AND share that internet connection as a WiFi hotspot all with just 1 single wireless LAN card. How awesome is that?

Sadly, this feature was left out from Windows 7. Fortunately, Connectify is an application that  takes your existing internet connection, be it your WiFi or 3G connection, and shares it easily as a wireless hotspot on your laptop.

Cool huh? Here’s the catch. It will only work on a Windows 7 laptop and make it a wireless hotspot. It doesn’t work on Windows XP or Vista. But any client, like a PSP or mobile phone or other computers, can connect to your hotspot!

Try it out! It’s in beta right now.

Connectify: Turn your Windows 7 laptop into a WiFi hotspot to share the Internet with friends, co-workers, and mobile devices.

I’ve been an old reader of OSNews, when it grew from what it was before to what it is today. Eugenia recently posted an awesome review on HTC Hero. I thought I should mention how many things she disliked about it and most of the problems she faces reflects what I think HTC should improve on. I’ve yet to write about the several improvements I think Android should implement, but this review might be something you’ll like to read on what Android can’t do well yet. Let’s hope the other cellphone providers will read more reviews and actually improve on them.

DigressCast Episode 6 by Tech65

Firstly, I have to apologize for the delay in this episode’s release. My MacBook Pro was sent for servicing for a week and needed a complete system board replacement. Together with the recent Windows 7 Social Party that I organized, and my project dateline nearing, time wasn’t a good friend to me. I did promise an Episode 5.5, but apparently I got a “yellow card” from our head honcho at Tech65, so sorry guys, you will not be able to hear Episode 5.5 at all. Together with the new “realignment” of our 65bits and DigressCast podcasts, this episode will probably be one of our last non-geek podcast.

But if you, our listeners, love what we do for all these different styles of DigressCast, tell us what you love, and we’ll give you what you want. Presenting… our next episode.
