Henk van Ess, who describes himself as a "a Dutch born investigative
journalist and accidental entrepreneur" who sells MiFi cellular WiFi
access points, recently took an order from Steve Wozniak (co-founder of
Apple) himself. After verifying that it was the real Woz, van Ess
started an e-mail conversation with Woz about the iPhone 4 and other
issues, and received permission to post the conversation on his site.

While Woz is always interesting, of particular importance to our
community was his suggestions for how iPhone 4 users can deal with the
unreliability of the AT&T data network:

If you can afford it, carry a second Verizon phone for backup. Another
option is to carry a Verizon mifi and rely on Skype on your iPhone. I
have used this mifi technique to rescue my own, and others', iPhones on
occasion. If you buy a Verizon Palm Pre, you get free mifi on it so
that is possible the best 'compromise' solution, to carry a Verizon
Palm Pre along with your AT&T iPhone 4.

Woz continues that he has a Pre (Plus) with Verizon, and notes
that "[a]t first [Verizon] charged but then they made free a built-in
mifi ability (Mobile Hotspot)."

It's great to know that Steve Wozniak is a member of our community, and
we encourage him to explore his Pre Plus; it has a lot more to offer
than just a free Wi-Fi connection!
