Need Wifi Tethering on your Private Jet?

There’s an app for that! No need for pricy equipment or roaming charges, just your smartphone and SafeCell. It somehow hooks your phone onto your Learjet’s satellite link with a combination of magic and bluetooth, turning it into a wifi hotspot.

I can’t find it on the various app stores so I guess that means sideloading (and for iPhones, jailbreaking). But hey, it’s only $17,500 (or $27,500 if your jet lacks some computer thing).

If you’re willing lay down a little more dough you could always go on Craigslist and hire a pretty lady to … serve you drinks as you surf Craigslist again 30K feet in the air for a different gal or two to assume that responsibility in the … appropriate attire the next time you land to refuel.

Too steep? Well you cheapskate if you can manage to dig $12,500 out of your couch you can get the single channel version, for example if you only want this to show it off to your rich friends and / or politicians and then put it away just before they lose interest (that’s called showmanship).
