We had a 2 hour layover at LAX and we were basically just laying around. One of the flight attendants(female) was totally ghey about Apple. She had a 3gs as well as an iPad and was just going on and on and on about how great they were. Her iPad was not 3g so I put my Evo in tethering mode and told her to look in her networks for my signal. She had no idea what an Evo was much less what the hell I was talking about. But I told her to select "Android Tether" just like she is hooking up to a hotspot...she did and was absolutely baffled...literally speechless. She thought I had performed some sort of magic trick and that some how this could not be happening. I told her to go ahead and surf the web. She got noticeably silent after this and not another peep about Apple....and she certainly did not ask about the Evo...she didn't want to know!!! The captain I was flying with also had an iPhone and was just looking on in silence. After we sat back down in the cockpit, he said, "Let me see that thang!!!"...........
Strange bedfellows that Evo and Ipad......
Awhile back I went to my favorite mexican restaraunt and the place was empty because the weather had been so bad. I was sitting at the bar(alone) with my back to everyone. There was one table of people and appeared to be business types...one lady with a laptop out. She got up and walked over to the bar and asked the bartender if they had wifi. He barely spoke English and had no idea what she was talking about. I think he thought it was some kind of new college drink!!! So I told her to come over for a second and told her to look for "Android Tether" on her network...and again...she was a little baffled. She hooked up and I said she should be good to go and she rejoined her party. It appeared she was trying to show her colleagues something on the interweb because they were all viewing the laptop and I noticed that they were indeed using data. I returned to my margarita and quesadillas. She came up to me about 15 minutes later and asked, "How'd you do that?". I said that it was thru my phone. She wanted to see it and she put it up to the light and examined it quite thoroughly. "What is called?".....An Evo I said....on what network...SPrint.....Wow, I'm gonna get me one of these....and thanked me and rejoined her party.
Now I gotta get rooted and get my tether back dammit....
