The $US190 BC2 is a full-fledged 802.11 B/G/N router – just stick your tethering-enabled iPhone into it via USB, and you’ll have up to 60m of wireless coverage for all the rest of your devices. It won’t replace your home connection – 3G data only, of course – but if the cable’s ever out, or you find yourself travelling, the thing could be handy in a pinch. [3Gstore]

Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 9:01 PMof course! what a brilliant idea! why would I freely jailbreak my iphone and get an app, when I can just pay $190 for this device, lug it around with me, and pay $20 a month (in the US) for tethering!
some things seem so simple once they’re invented!
