This might even save me money. Many budget wireless carriers don't explicitly support tethering, and those that do typically charge extra. If there's no way to detect a host computer (short of some heuristic test), then I could potentially change carriers or rework my bill.

Just thought of another question. Does Sailfish have any problem connecting to Ad-Hoc networks? (I know Kindle devices do.) I'll probably use JoikuSpot on my Symbian phone for a while until I'm ready to install a SIM in the Xperia.
