This is a solid point.  This is super high priority level feature these
days.

The reasons I had to flash back to my nasty robot OS was:

-microphone issue (seems to be bothering a few people and may be
hardware not software problem)

-calendar/contact sync (owncloud app seems to now be out and working so
this is awesome and fixes it)

-wifi sharing (least of priority list above, but very hard to not be
able to share with other device)

The rest seems to now be fully in place so I totally agree with this
hotspot feature as a 'must have'
