You could use windows 7 ad hoc feature.

 

[ninadchaudhari]

Buy it from Letsbuy.com
I bought a 8GB class 10 card at Rs.694

i purchased a 16 gb class 10 transcend card from Flipkart for 1500 !!
with full warranty and awesome fast delivery speed ( just 2 days !)

android's kernel will not detect adhoc connections natively.. you will have to broadcast your wifi in infrastructure mode only..i.e. connectify, mhotspot or virtual router

OR u can reverse tether explained by me in http://androidforums.com/micromax-a70/421969-reverse-tether-wifi.html

 

[mastermind1024]

am using vista,i tried adhoc connection in vista but did not connect.

U will have to create wifi access point & not adhoc,u can use Connectify for that...

what is good screen protector for a70?how much does it cost?where can we get one?any silicone cover/phone guard available for a70?

A exact screen protector is not available yet but you can make the shopkeeper to cut it any other screen protector according to your screen size and put it.
Or instead of using screen protector just laminate you mobile.
It costed me Rs 120 laminate.
If you laminate your handset then no need if sp
if you want to just use screen protector then it will cost you Rs50 to Rs.150.
But I recommend you to laminate.
You can get a variety of covers from letsbuy.com

 

[varun.chitre15]

if we laminate doesn't it damage phone?because of the heat comes from the lamination machine?

No.
Lamination doesn't block any of open spaces which are meant to release the heat (although we don't have any)
And if it blocks e.g. speaker holes at the back,Mic then u should get it cut.

 

[varun.chitre15]

AFAIK speedometer works in any Android phone with GPS.
Use ulysse speedometer from market
Use it in an open space only.

We have to see and match the exact dimensions of a70 with covers available and then buy.
We have dimensions mentioned in gsmarena but how to see covers dimensions in letsbuy

through software called connectify..!!

 

[mastermind1024]

connectify need wifi.my wifi adapter is not working.so what am asking here is can we use internet of pc on our phone through data cable(not WIFI).

Do u want to use net on pc or phone???I assume u want to use it on pc.
Connect the phone n don't mount sd card,
Go to Settings->Wireless n networks->Tethering & portable hotspot
Now check mark USB tethering.
Now u can access internet on pc.
EDIT:
Sorry I didn't read it properly,u want to use pc's net on phone.I don't know of that but will update u if I find anything.

EDIT:
Found a solution for you.It's possible as they say but no guaranty cause windows have some problem with it.You have to try.I will give u links.

does anyone know which browser supports full HTML5?
I tried uc browser 8, 7.8 it doesn't support it.
just visit this site
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
u will see three bars at the bottom.
the green colour represents it supports.
There are 3 bars:1)video tag 2)h264 3)Webm.
Our stock browser shows only green colour for video tag.
Can anyone find the browser supports it fully.
If not fully then at least two should be supported.
HTML5 will help us play videos on any site without flash player.
Also we can play games on ibibo,facebook AFAIK.
