Tethering an Toshiba AT100 to a Nokia E71 I want to tether an Toshiba AT100 tablet to my Nokia E71. Have installed JuikoSpot on the Nokia which creates an ad-hoc hotspot. It appears the AT100 only looks for infrastructure hotspots. Is there an app or other method of getting the AT100 to look for and connect to an ad-hoc hotspot? 

Alternatively, is there a cheap Android phone I could get that supports being an infrastructure wi-fi hotspot?
Try bluetooth tethering instead.

Benefits: Consumes less power, you can leave bluetooth enabled 24/7. Works out of the box.
Drawback: BT 2.1 may cap your maximum UMTS speed (usually not an issue on the go).



There are two profiles for this to tether via bluetooth:  


Bluetooth PAN:
Supported by Android 3.0+ out of the box. See Wikipedia entry for more info on PAN profile.  
Bluetooth DUN:
Needs 3rd party app like BlueVPN (ICS version here). See Wikipedia entry for more info on DUN profile.


Stock Android 3.0+ and custom roms like CM should support Bluetooth PAN. Your Nokia E71 supports only DUN profile (Archos users can enjoy added DUN support out of the box however) .
