We'd heard that the 2011 Audi A8 could be getting a UMTS modem in mid-2010 to assist with issues like Google Earth, and it appears like Audi has now delivered that and more -- it is just introduced that the automobile is the first anyplace to be available with a manufacturing unit-put in WLAN hotspot option. That will apparently let you either drop your SIM card into the automotive's on-board system or pair your phone with it through Bluetooth, after which share wireless internet access with up to eight WiFi-enabled devices at speeds up to 7.2 mbps -- assuming you actually need any more devices than the two dozen or so which can be already constructed into the automotive, that is.
