Have a Palm Pre on O2, but find yourself envious of your American compatriots on Verizon running Mobile Hotspot left and right? Fret not, for your quandary will soon be quashed. In a tweet on one of O2 Germany’s official Twitter feeds<\/a>, the following (translated into English) was posted.<\/p>\n

Coming soon: the Palm Mobile Hotspot App. Thus the Pre becomes a UMTS Wi-Fi router with WPA or WEP encryption – ideal for iPods & iPads.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Zing! Especially considering that at launch won’t be able to get a 3G iPad in Europe at all. This is the first official word we have of the Mobile Hotspot app making the leap to another carrier. Because the Pre on O2 is a GSM phone, users will be able to still place and receive phone calls while running Mobile Hotspot, something their Verizon brethren can’t do. No word on pricing, though we expect the app to be free, and O2 Germany currently runs a tethering plan starting at €25 a month.<\/strike> Correction: <\/strong>Tethering is offered free-of-charge for O2 subscribers, but watch your usage to avoid going over your plan’s usage cap.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Ruben for the tip!<\/em><\/p>\n
