I'm planning to buy a Droid 2 and wanted to know if I could get tethering via PDAnet? A co-worker was using her Droid 1 w/ PDANet without paying for the tether but the amount of data transferred wasn't too high. Is this still possible with Droid 2?

I also plan to use the Droid 2 a lot as a GPS navigation tool while driving. Which vehicle mount do you recommend? I don't really want to use the cigarette light as a mount (rental cars have different configurations) or the windshield (easily shows that I am using a nav tool, but it is still feasible) - probably looking at the vents or the dash. Any recommendations?

Finally, I heard that an anti-virus program is highly recommended. Any ideas on what to get?

What other apps must I absolutely get? I'm not big on downloading movies/TV shows or even music, I just want to use the Droid 2 as a small traveling PC for access to the web and possibly use it to provide internet access for my netbook.
