You can do this for free on any 3G phone which has an internet data stream - simply bluetooth (or IR if you'r really unlucky) it to your PC as a connection and setup an Internet Dial Up Connection (*99# is the dial code) over it and away you goSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

you can if you have bluetooth. Neat thing about this app is you dont need bluetooth and you can have more than 1 connection. Handy if you have 2 kids in the back with psp's

there are apps that will stream video from the camera live to the web yes, grab QIK from cydia.
In terms of a hotspot, well its a router so that would be a yes bearing in mind a more limited range as your running on battery power.
Not sure the benfit of running a web server on it but Apache has been ported to Iphone.
Does anyone know of any similar software for a Nokia N96? Could be very handy...Ben

There is free software that allows using any Series 60 Nokia handset as WiFi Hotspot here
http://www.joiku.com/
I guess since WiFi cameras are usually running web servers it should be possible to "pair" phone and camera via WiFi and watch the video in the browser .D3 XS Manual - gone
Now that's impresive, just got on xBox live using my N96! Ben

makes having a net connected car pc a whole lot easier
Can also use Skpye on the iphone, if you are abroad it a lot cheaper as your using data instead of airtime

Cheers Hijack. Knew that already TBH, it was more a question around the iPhone to see if it could... impressed it can if jailbroken. Knew S60 could
BTW, invested in ViewRanger... very impressed with its OS maps and its in D3 tracking abilities for some tracks Andrew Rob and I did last weekend
Sorry... this is an iPhone thread
