ive got one of the vodafone mobile Broardband usb modem thingys (which is great!) i was just wondering if it would work with a ps3? i had a ps2 in my saxo so now ive upgraded the car its only fair to upgrade the playstation! just want know when i get the ps3 in the car could i use the modem for online gaming? i think COD online on the move would tempt me into living in the car lol

Well, the PS3 csn only connect to the net via ethernet connection or a wireless network (Wi-Fi), therefore I don't think it'd connect through the usb dongle, I'm typing this on the PS3 and the only 2 options on the internet list is wired or wireless. I don't think the usb thing would work, but it'd be worth a try with someone you know's PS3

Could you use the phone as an access point?

not too sure bout the phone working will have experiment when i get home. theres gota b some sort of solution for this! mobile COD would be just too good. just need wait for HD monitors come into cars!

[MarkyG]

Why would you sit in your car and watch tv?

The phone has the right hardware if it can do WAPband and WIFI. Just need the right routing software and access point software, could have a problem if both bits of hardware are powered by a single source and can only be activated one at a time.

not for me mainly (i only use it if picking up my missus from work or if for any reason im waiting in the car) its mainly for passengers! when ive got the setup complete i wont b able to see the main screen when im driving so will b nice n legal!

Could you use the phone as an access point?

I doubt it mate, as the PS3 wont have the drivers necessary to actually communicate with the phone in that way.

The only way you could do it is by making a small car computer - you could make a very compact one using the PicoITX form factor.

oic, i thought he was talking about using a mobile phone as the modem, connected to his ps3 via wifi, actually hes got a USB WAPband modem. You're probably right that he cant get drivers, car pC is the way forward.

[KantosBrin]

think the dream is slowly dying now its all sounding too much like hard work! and too much $$$
