hi everyone I'm Chung win for Pacquiao calm and today we're going to be taking a look at the mobile hotspot app for the palm pre plus ND palm pixi plus for verizon wireless theoretically this app should work with also the sprint network on the palm pre because the pre also has Wi-Fi however operating the app may require additional carrier provisioning and charges on verizon wireless the app is free but to use it it will cost forty dollars per month for five gigs of data transfer overages will run you five cents per megabyte so let's go ahead and download the app from the palm app catalog since we're using the palm pre plus prior to release the app is an indie a pata log officially yet but we were able to men are to get it on through a special backdoor link from Verizon Wireless so we're going to go ahead and download the app also I should be noted that with the latest version of webos you can download multiple applications at the same time or simultaneously which was a feature that was missing from previous versions it's relatively quick to install we're going to go ahead and tap to launch and now the app is asking permission to restart the phone which then you can go ahead and launch the app after the phone reboots I'm going to go ahead and shut off the camera now and wait for the phone to reboot and then we're going to go ahead and pick it up after the phone reboots again so it did take some time for the phone to restart itself but now we're back with the verizon wireless palm pre plus we're going to go ahead and launch the mobile hotspot application by going into the launcher and then this is what the app looks like the network information shows the network name so now it's webOS network VA 7371 you can go ahead and change the name of the network if you so desire by tapping on it and then deleting what was written before we're going to go ahead and call it as VZW Creed plus net and then you have 32 characters we're going to go ahead and hit done so now that's the new name and we're going to go ahead and change the passphrase since you only have five gigs of data transfer per month you'd want to keep other people off your network who are authorized to be on it so that you can protect the Lao instead you have on a monthly basis for your forty dollars we're going to call it just abcdefg each it has to be a minimum of eight characters and maximum of 63 so everything is all configured now we're going to go ahead and turn the network on and it shows here that there are no device is connected if you're in card view at the bottom notification area you should see an icon here for the mobile hotspot app tapping it right now shows no connected devices we're going to go ahead and set this aside for just a second I'm going to go ahead and pull out the iphone which is on airplane mode and is connected only to Wi-Fi this is connected to our whole network right now we're going to go ahead and connect it to the VZW pre plus net go ahead and type in do password which is all lowercase a b c d e f g h then we're going to hit join and now it's alerting us on the pre that the pre plus that we have one connected device and if you tap in sight the car to go back into the application it shows that the 3gs white which is what we named the iphone is connected and in the card view it shows one connected device as well so let's go ahead and go back to the iphone and try to navigate to Deepak now home page which we had loaded earlier but we're going to just go ahead and refresh that and see how long it takes so it does take a while for the pacquiao calm home page to load on the iPhone and that's probably due to the fact that i'm downstairs where the verizon wireless signal is weaker had i been upstairs on the network coverage would have been a little bit better and the page would load a bit faster but already you do have access to the text and information on the home page so you can go ahead and already start browsing and on that's in short a quick tour of the mobile hotspot application here and if you're done using it to conserve battery life on your palm pre plus all you have to do is turn it off the application should be available in the palm app catalog beginning january twenty fifth when the palm pre plus ND palm pixi plus are available for purchase through verizon wireless it should also be mentioned that if you purchase a palm pre plus or a palm pixi plus between january twenty fifth launch date and februari fourteenth you can get a pixi plus for free I'm Chong win for pocketnow.com and this has been a quick tour of the mobile hotspot app which turns your palm webos enabled Wi-Fi device into a wireless router thanks for watching
