On the side of Popular Science, they successfully packed a complete WiFi hotspot with internet into a backpack.

Devices with WiFi are spreading: PDAs, smartphones, Sony’s PlayStation Portable, and even Kodak EasyShare-One digital cameras have this technology. There is only one problem: all it takes is a hotspot that connects these machines.
