Not the same. With Mywi, you can connect multiple devices wirelessly just like a wireless router. The native tethering option only allows 1 device connected via USB.
Oh, so we can use our charging plug to connect our laptop to the internet? I don't mind if I can only connect 1 computer and it is via usb. Also does it just work off of our data plan? I have mywi, but if I ever have to un-jb, this is good to know. Thanks
Say you're in a call and you want to check the map app for directions and estimate of when you'd arrived at your next destination ...
The hotspot feature isn't big deal to me. I don't own a iPad and even if I did I wouldn't carry it outside the house very often. So I really have no need for the mobile hotspot feature as of now.
I would much rather have my simultaneous voice and data connection anyday! I use this feature a lot. That would suck saying hey let me call you right back every time I had to look something up while on a call lol.

I guess that since I already am use to not doing that or just that I never really have needed to it's not that big of a deal breaker for me but I do understand where it would be nice to have if needed. I usually text way more than i talk.
I use it all the time. I use navigation all the time. If I was on CDMA and got a call, the navigation app would be useless if the map is not already installed on the HDD. Motion-X Drive is a top navigation app in the AppStore but it relies on data continuously being downloaded to the device as the user moves around. You basically would have to stop driving if you accepted a call to avoid missing a turn.
I would be lost not being able go online while on a call. I guess I've been with ATT so long I don't know any other way. (I was a Cingular customer first) People that don't have that option always brush it off and say it's not important but that's not true for me. I also won't be switching from ATT as Verizon is very over rated, slow data is the main thing I couldn't put up with.
I am curious if not allowing data and voice at the same time will not bog down their network as much?

Don't get me wrong, I've had an iPhone with AT&T and had this feature available to me, I just never really used it that much. It is definitely great if you can use data while on a call if needed. Just personally for me not a deal breaker.
I've always wondered if that's why they don't allow it, surely their system must be capable of the two at once..
I don't see this working well at all, verizon users have a hard enough time with their 3G data connections now. Share that with 5 devices and they will absolutely crawl. My opinion anyway.
