Connectify 2.0.1 Released - WiFi Your World

Where did you Connectify Today?: Connectify 2.0.1 Released!. My favorite Windows 7 productivity tool has gone to a new version, which fixes some bugs, and works great. It is free, which is amazing, and it turns any Windows 7 machine with an Internet connection into a WiFi Hotspot to which family and friends can connect. You can lock it down with WPA 2 encryption, so strangers can't join your little ad hoc network. When Android releases Version 2.2 (Froyo) next month, you will be able to do the same thing with your Android smartphone. Oh, yes, you can't run Connectify on a Mac, and iPhone doesn't have a WiFi Hotspot app. I am resisting the urge to say "There isn't an App for that". Of course, I am sure some hacker has figured out a way to use an iPhone for tethering a single computer; but, I don't know of any apps that will make an iPhone into a sharable hotspot. If there is, I am sure one of my iPhone owning readers will tell me. I think there is still one of you.

Mac OS actually has this feature built in. It can be found in System Preferences under Sharing. It's called Internet Sharing.
