There’s a feature list for JoikuSpot Premium here for full details, but suffice it to say I am writing this on a Mac, next to me is a PC and an iPhone and they are all simultaneously using the 3G connection from my E61 via Three.  And get this… the PC is connected to my employer’s corporate network via a VPN!  Across the 3 machines I have IMAP mail, web browsing, VPN, Outlook (connected to an Exchange server) and an IM client connected to all the major networks. All at the same time!  Wow!

So far it’s been rock solid (one re-start of my web browsers required to get them to pick-up the new connection) and boom… online.  30 minutes uninterrupted so far. The E61 only supports 3G, but with a 3.5G device this would really fly (not that performance isn’t excellent now).  The only downside (predictably) is that it munches battery – have a charger available or use a Proporta for a running top-up as I am doing.

And to cap it all there’s a sale on or the first month… 40% off so JoikuSpot Premium is only €15.  A bargain – I’ve bought my own copy just now.

Run, don’t walk, here and buy it for yourself… or test the free ‘light’ version for yourself first.  There’s a white-label version for network types who want to brand it up.

Did I mention it rocks?
