In a pinch, Android phone users can connect their computer to their phone using a USB cable and by running a program called PDAnet. In a pinch, PDAnet can have you back up and running, even when the Internet stinks where you are at…like tonight, when I’m at home, working on a project and the Internet from Time-Warner Cable has intermittently failed. Sigh.
That said, I hooked up PDAnet and voila, I’m back online. Here are the speed test results from Internet Frog:
Given that this is running off my Motorola Cliq phone, this is just great!! And you know what they say…some connection beats NO connection.
You listening, Time-Warner Cable?

I love my Droid and PDANet. I paid for a premium edition (includes https) and haven't looked back. I'm writing this from the Interstate in Oklahoma, on a road trip from New Mexico to Michigan and back. With my Prius, inverter, laptop, Verizon and Droid, I have been connected almost the whole way. Plus it's faster than the average hotel connection. It's the closest I've been to a ubiquitous connection.
