I know it’s been said already, but get this working with the Franklin CDU-680 and this will be the perfect setup! Very Happy

Put the modem card inside the cradlepoint so we can have a complete solution and not have to add on the modem... Exclamation

If there is GPL software, point to the source.

Allow Bluetooth via USB to use that mode for cell phones when available

(and BT serial profile devices or USB serial ports via a hub).

Allow the ethernet port to work both ways.

oh oh oh... i wish the CTR350 would work with multiple USB modems attached via powered USB hub, and allow load balancing across all active EVDO connections!

and while i'm still dreaming, lets get some aggregation/bonding going too!

- Make it a bit thicker and add an internal Li-Ion across the bottom, good for 8-10 hours of use

- Include a carrying case

- Include the 12V cord

- More indicator lights

Keep the price the same which will probably exclude a lot of the wish list features.

Add an CradlePoint II which includes the features at what ever price is needed to support them.

Provide me with a free unit to test as a Filemaker Developer and for credit card authorizations.

How much will it cost them to add each of these features?

$5,000, $20,000, $50,000?

I'm selfish enough to want the LG Muziq added. And if the rumour...which I can find nowhere supported that the new Touch will upgrade to Rev A that would certainly be a good device to add too.

One other thing: I would have thought that the tethering connection to a computer via USB would be a somewhat generic thing so that most phones could simply be plugged in???

That is apparently not the case, and instead of some generic windows driver I suppose every phone has its own little wacky hack driver??

thx,
mark

SMTP redirection like hotspots use so that users don't have to reconfigure their email client in order to send emails. None of the Cellular routers have this feature and would be a great selling point for the first to implement.

Still waiting for HSDPA card support and I love the "captive portal" feature.

An orientation indicator and/or an external antenna connector to maximise wifi coverage area.

All I would like to see is a signal meter and maybe a battery as suggested above. It would be great to have a small handheld self powered router.
