Tethering a smartphone to get data on the go is a great way to stay
online without lugging around a separate device. However, lugging
around a separate device exclusively for the purpose of tethering your
phone seems a bit less great, especially when that device must be
plugged into a wall. Such is the Nexaria BC2, an 802.11b/g/n router
that can be connected to compatible iPhones (namely the 3G, 3GS, and
4). Pop one in and, assuming you're paying AT&T the requisite
extra $20 a month, it'll start beaming sweet, sweet internets out to
all of your devices. Performance naturally depends on the strength of
your signal, but getting a couple megabits down and one megabit up are
entirely believable and respectable, though ping rates in the hundreds
of milliseconds ensure you won't be racking up the headshots when
connected thusly. It's yours for $189 right now if you're feeling the
need.
