Things you didn't know about WMWifiRouter...
(September, 2008) Interesting facts about the history, present and future of WMWifiRouter; the first phone-as-HotSpot software ever released.
Did you know WMWifiRouter was the first piece of software for mobile phones to offer sharing your cellular data connection over Wi-Fi and has been around for almost a year now? The very first public release was on November 2, 2007 - a short time before our valued partner JoikuSoft released their JoikuSpot software and almost half a year before TapRoot Systems announced WalkingHotSpot.

Did you know that since the early stages of development, WMWifiRouter developed quite a following in the PocketPC enthousiast communities, and its options and features are largely based on the feature requests and feedback from these communities (and of course, our other customers) ? The support from these communities has played a large role in the development and success of WMWifiRouter, and we will always both be grateful to them and listen to their ideas for improvement. A number of the biggest enthousiasts even still have access to our preview and test releases, are in one of our beta teams, and have been given commercial licenses.

Listening to our customers and working hard to provide the features they want and need is what we believe in. The customer is king and you will find no artificial limits in our software. We believe this attitude is responsible for WMWifiRouter's widespread adoption. We estimate that since WMWifiRouter's inception, it has been downloaded and installed on almost 300,000 devices!

Did you know that unlike some of our competitors, WMWifiRouter is not a subscription-based service ? We do not believe software like this is a service, so why adopt a service-based payment plan? If you buy WMWifiRouter, you can use it for as long as you want.

Did you know the latest version of WMWifiRouter also has the option to share your connection over BlueTooth and USB ? It can even share you wifi-based connection over USB and your USB connection over wifi, if that is what you want to do. And even more options like these are coming!

Did you know many mobile manufacturers and providers have expressed interest in WMWifiRouter ? Even Windows Mobile creator Microsoft has expressed interest in WMWifiRouter and have been a valuable resource during the development of the 1.20 version, they even did a WMWifiRouter demo on Tech-Ed!
