Now that there is a 3G enabled device, I am hoping that I can use this 3G device as a way for my work laptop to connect to the Internet. Specifically

1) N900 connects to mobile provider
2) N900 traffic goes direct to mobile provider
3) Laptop connects to N900 via Bluetooth (I am thinking that Bluetooth will chew up less battery than WiFi)
4) Laptop gets NAT connection to Internet via 3G
5) N900 and laptop keep TCP connectivity simultaneously (so I can stream music via the N900, but still stay connected to my work email and IM system)
6) Ideally extend this to N laptops, simultaneously with other Bluetooth devices connecting to the N900
7) As a bit of fun, widget on the N900 screen showing how 3G bandwidth has been used. A stacked strip chart with a different color per using device

How much of this do we have right now as installable packages?
How much just needs a bit of packaging work?
How much would need development, and would it be worthwhile?
