FON and Mac
We’ve just released the beta of FON access point software for Macs. We are targeting a mid-April release date. If you would like to test please e-mail Albert. The new software turns any Mac into a Fon access point! It allows you connect your Mac to a 3G, EVDO or HSDPA connection (please make sure your carrier allows this!) and offer FON WiFi to those around you.
You can then regulate the amount of bandwith you share to insure your own connection remains strong. The bandwidth you share will then be free to Linus FONeros and cost 3 euros/dollars the first day and 2 euros/dollars thereafter for others. As a Bill you can take 50% of it! This could make you a very popular person in a lot of places!
PS - it was hard not to use the term iFON in that post!

FON Wi-Fi Connection Manager
Lot's of people have been asking about automatically logging onto FON access points. I don't have a release date to share with you but we have signed an agreement with Spotigo for our FON Wi-Fi Connection Manager. This will allow Foneros with window devices and Symbian smartphones to detect and connect to FON access points automatically!

FON & Zing team up!
I’ve been waiting for this announcement! I’m a big fan of the Sansa and now Zing and Sandisk have teamed up to bring us the Sansa Connect (I can’t wait to get my hands on one – it’s on display at CES!). You may be wondering why I’m posting this on the FON Blog. The answer is FON and Zing have teamed up. A FON & Zing bundle will be available bringing Zing users into the Fonero community. More Foneros, more wifi, more music. This rocks!
