Joikuspot - turn your Nokia S60 device into a WiFi Access Point
While surfing the interw3b this morning I came across this very cool new Symbian S60 application. Once installed it allows your phone to act as a WiFi hotspot sharing it's GPRS/3G data connection via WiFi.
Now you might think this is nothing special but if you have an iPod Touch, PDA or laptop that has WiFi built it it allows you to connect to the internet when you're not within range of a WiFi network. WiFi is also significantly faster than Bluetooth for data transfers so if you're somebody who connects their laptop to their phone via Bluetooth there could be significant speed increases moving to WiFi.
This software is only very new and currently lacks any security which means your WiFi connection is wide open for anybody to leach but certainly shows a lot of potential!

Reeltime TV halts trading on ASX: legal movie downloads to be affected?
For a while reeltime.tv seemed like the only alternative for legal movie downloads in Australia and New Zealand.
Except that if you visit the site you will find there's a very little catalogue available - with movies that I wouldn't hire for a Tuesday soirée.
Now I see a press release from Reeltime Rentals, an U.S.-based company declaring they have nothing to do with Reeltime Media, an Australian company listed in the ASX. This press release came out because Reeltime (the Australia one) had asked the ASX to suspend trading of its ticker.
The Reeltime Media ASX page says:
Principal activities: Broadband TV Content aggregator and operator - direct from hollywood licensee for movie downloads - both rental and own. Company provides content & operations to ISP, retail and media partners. Company has aggregated content suitable for PC and Set Top Box IPTV delivery. Company also retails games and music via its online website
I don't see a decent on-line movie delivery in New Zealand anytime soon. Do you?
