Joikuspot...

What the f**k is Joikuspot i hear you cry?


Well, Joikuspot is an application i installed on my Nokia N95 which allows me to create a wireless access point that any wi-fi device can connect to (assuming they have the password), linking that device to the Internet via my phone, pretty nifty!

Now, the problem with Joikuspot and the PSP is that Joikuspot runs the wi-fi in ad hoc mode (Simular to a PC sharing Internet connection) rather than infrastructure (dedicated router/access point).

Now, why is this a problem for the PSP? For some reason Sony only allow the PSP to connect to the internet using an infrastructure connection, ad hoc seems to be reserved for connecting PSP's together in close proximity.

Annoying! DAMN YOU SONY!

Although Joikuspot does not work with the PSP, it is excellent if you have a laptop you wish to connect to the internet when away from home, though do note this will use whatever access plan you have with your provider, not recommended if you do not have unlimited internet.
