Today I sat down with a colleague here in Oklahoma City for lunch. The discussion centered on his new purchase of the Asus Transformer Prime, which is certainly a front-runner device for lawyers. What I gained from the meeting though was FoxFi.
FoxFi replaces my other favorite app, Barnacle WiFi Tether, which only works on a rooted Android device.
One of the major upgrades to my wireless plan when I purchased the new Motorola Droid Bionic was the mobile hotspot add-on. Although this is a pricey subset, it’s a necessity when I travel to various courts. My biggest hesitation has always been the cost. Now, though, FoxFi gives me all of the advantages of Verizon’s tethering plan, without the costs.
The FoxFi app is easy to set up, and basically works with the click of an icon. The FoxFi settings are simple. I certainly recommend that you rename your WiFi network, and add a WPA2 password.
If you’re looking to take your law practice mobile, then you need this app. The best part: it’s free.
