A few months ago I purchased a 7” Samsung Galaxy Tab from Verizon Wireless. I wasn’t sure if the tablet would be a valuable asset or a toy. Today if you ask me I will say that it is an asset. I run Sublime on Google Apps so the Android integration is very nice. The Galaxy Tab has a number of features but the one I would like to mention is the MIFI.
MIFI is a term for a device that shares its internet connection with other computers via wireless. This week I was experiencing an issue with my Comcast internet. In the middle of the day while the technician was terminating new cables I was down The cell phone was ringing off the hook so tethering to the laptop was out of the question. I decided to try the MIFI. I turned on the MIFI feature and the tablet told me the SSID for my wireless and the password. Within seconds my laptop was once again on the internet and I was making phone calls.
MIFI is a great feature for use in hotels and meetings. It is also handy when storms take out office power or internet. I did not even know this feature was included with the tablet but I am very pleased that it is.
