Motorla Xoom ~ Wifi

[Nash_Node]

lads,

Got a question which I need your expert opinion and answer.

I bought a Motorola Xoom while abroad and currently I am back in SL for a Holiday. This is a bit of an elongated holiday hence I am hoping to stay in SL till about end of November.


Now, when I bought the Xoom they gave me a wifi dongle that automatically connects to the internet and the Xoom can connect through it. Now when I am back in SL, it obviously doesnt work..... also the wifi dongle i originally got doesn't have any sim slot.. it seems to be hardwired for only for the original network.

For the moment, I connect my USB dongle (dialog) to my laptop and create a wfi hotspot by using a software call "Connectify"...then connect my Xoom to internet through it. But that's just plain arse stupid to run two machines for the sake of one and it's definitely not portable (which is the basic idea of a Xoom)

I inquired from Dialog and they have the same sort of wifi dongles at around 9,500. ..........

Does anyone have any better ideas or cheaper solutions????

I do not have a "wired" connection .. just a Dialog dongle only.. so if you are giving me an alternative, please bear that in mind.


Expect your super duper answers lads !

Cheers

i cant understand what are u talking about a wifi dongle. MZ604 already got Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n inbuit
i think u are telling abt mifi devices (mobile wifi) , they create personal mobile hotspots so u can connect to it using wifi,
so if your mifi device is hardwired with sim , then u have to get new mifi dongle no other options, so u can use ur dialog data plan with it
mifis are around 40$++ on ebay so u better try there
