It is also handy for keeping all your mobile devices connected from one internet source without having to rely on wireless routers.

Connectify is one of the first tools that uses the power of mesh networking. The idea behind mesh networks is that every pc/laptop can become a wi-fi hotspot, ensuring not only a steady internet connection but also allow integration of different devices without having to set up anything.

Once installed, Connectify sits in your system tray. To start a hotspot, just fill in your preferred Wi-Fi name and your pass phrase, and then click the large button to turn the hotspot on. Other devices will immediately detect your created hotspot and they can join in using the password that you supplied.

You can also use Connectify to start your home network to share files and printers without using a router.

Features:

• Create a wi-fi hotspot from your pc/laptop in an instant.
• Created hotspots require WPA passphrases for better security.
• Connect and sync your wi-fi enabled devices without using cords, blue tooth, or wireless router.
• Works with Windows 7 (only).

Mobify lets you mobilize your blog or website by creating lightweight version of it, which loads much faster and looks great on a mobile screen. No need to maintain a separate mobile version of the site, which can be costly and time consuming.

The basic plan is free, which lets you customize HTML and CSS files and host the mobile version at http://m.sitename.com. To get access to all the features including advanced analytic, SEO and priority support, you have to upgrade to a paid plan.

How it works:

1. Sign up and select which parts of your website should be visible on a mobile screen. Create one or more templates.
2. Insert Javascript code into HTML code of your website, which will automatically detect and redirect mobile visitors to the mobile view of the site.
3. Create a custom domain (http://m.sitename.com) by setting up CNAME records of your domain’s settings.

Next time when someone visits your site from a mobile device, she will be automatically redirected to the mobile version of the site, which is created on the fly by Mobify based on your provided mobile template.
