November 2nd, 2009 | Posted in Laptops, Softwares, Wireless | No Comments »

win7-wifiA developer of Philadelphia has managed to discover a feature left unfinished in Windows 7, which can turn any laptop running Windows 7 into a wireless access point. This allows other Wi-Fi devices to share the connection without using an additional software.

There are some chances that Nomadio become a shareware program in its final version.
