Android 2.2 (Froyo) To Come with Tethering and Wifi Hotspot

I have been USB-tethering with my Sprint HTC Mogul for more than two years, connecting my Ubuntu 8.04~10.04 and Win XP~7 laptops/netbook to Sprint’s usually-speedy-enough 3G data network.

With the ever-expanding 3G or 3.5G coverage, it is now quite convenient to use your 3.xG phone as a modem to get your notebook connected.
