Sadly, many major players are really hamstringing a phone's Hotspot feature.
Some providers limit how much or how fast data can be used with a hot spot feature, or block the feature entirely, or charge an arm and a leg for it.
I like Verizon for their network's ability to let me make clear phone calls, but if I had to rely on them for streaming video to a tablet, I'd quickly go broke.
Still, though, the option does indeed extend any WiFi device's utility. Verizon's iPad offering depends on using one of it's hotspot devices if you want a "3g" ipad from them, for example.
And, yeah, what DOES "DiapDealer" mean?
