black berry internet to Mobile phone into a wireless modem for your laptop ! works for etisalat

You can use your Windows Mobile phone as a wireless modem by connecting to your laptop with a cable. This method is fast and simple and has a few benefits over the Bluetooth method; however, it does require a cable, so you have to carry one with you, which may be a hassle in some circumstances.The biggest advantage this method offers is that while your smartphone is connected to your laptop, it receives a battery charge—so when you disconnect it, your phone will have more of a charge than when you first started. I normally use the Bluetooth method, and it's very hard on the battery life of a phone, so I can't overstate how great it is to end up with a charged smartphone at the end of a laptop Internet access session.The downside to this method is that your laptop battery won't last quite as long because it has to charge the phone. The impact is really quite minimal, though; your laptop screen brightness will affect battery life much more than having your phone connected will. And, because you're using the smartphone as a modem, you can disable Wi-Fi on the laptop to conserve a bit of power, which probably offsets the battery load from charging the phone...Here's how to use your Windows Mobile phone as a modem for your laptop (these steps presume that your laptop is running Windows Vista):*Open the Internet Sharing program on your phone.The Internet Sharing program icon*Set the PC Connection to USB. The default connection should be fine for the Network Connection (it is the same connection your phone uses to check e-mail). The status line will say Check USB cable connection. This is normal.Internet Sharing window, with PC Connection set to USB*Connect your phone to your laptop by using the sync/charge cable. You may see a pop-up window telling you that device drivers are being installed. Just wait a few seconds for the process to finish, and then you can proceed to Step 4.Installing device driver software screen in Driver Software Installation window*After about 10 seconds or so, your laptop should be connected to the Internet. You can confirm this by opening a web site in your laptop’s web browser. On your phone, the Status line of the Internet Sharing program should say Connected.*When you're finished with the Internet access, disconnect the phone from the laptop, and in the Internet Sharing application, click Disconnect.The next time you do this procedure, the drivers won't need to be installed, so the connection will happen even more quickly.

India has come up with the world's cheapest "laptop," a touch-screen computing device that costs $35, Reuters reported on Friday.

India's Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal, this week unveiled the low-cost computing device that is designed for students, saying his department had started talks with global manufacturers to start mass production.

"We have reached a (developmental) stage that today, the motherboard, its chip, the processing, connectivity, all of them cumulatively cost around $35, including memory, display, everything," he told a news conference.

He said the touchscreen gadget was packed with Internet browsers, PDF reader and video conferencing facilities but its hardware was created with sufficient flexibility to incorporate new components according to user requirement.

Sibal said the Linux based computing device was expected to be introduced to higher education institutions from 2011 but the aim was to drop the price further to $20 and ultimately to $10.

The device was developed by research teams at India's premier technological institutes, the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science.

India spends about three percent of its annual budget on school education and has improved its literacy rates to over 64 percent of its 1.2 billion population but studies have shown many students can barely read or write and most state-run schools have inadequate facilities..
