Flashlight App Sneaks Tethering Into App Store [Pulled]

[harry*333]

Me too, its still # 4 in the listings, and I can still search and view its app page.


EDIT:


oh

I don't even see it at all

 

[aricher]

I just tried downloading it. It shows up in the app store on iPhone but says it's been removed once you try to download. Party's over in 3...2...

 

[DiamondGCoupe]

Well you can no longer download it so you have to transfer it to iTunes or you won't ever be able to download it again.

Man, it's such a shame. My Android phone has this built-in to the OS. Android!

Yeah, my iPhone also have this built-in to the OS, and I don't pay an extra for this, and is also unlocked for life without any hack or jailbreak... Ah, and I can buy it from whatever carrier I want... I just don't live in the u.s.

I can't believe I missed this!

I'd love to see people's reactions as they try to figure out why this stupid flashlight app is 5 stars and a top seller!

 

[gibbz]

Grabbed it just in time. Working on my iPhone 4 with 4.0.1 and iPad with 3.2.1!

 

[rami.g]

I'm surprised this app didn't beat out "Angry Birds" for the #1 spot!

haha

I'm not bragging and I'm not mexican, I'm here temporally... All I'm saying is that this is not a matter of Android vs. iPhone. It's more a question of market and communications laws...

edit: forgot to mention: I'm from Brazil...

I'd like to see a graph of the sales over the last hour and a half

Woot

Got it before the lock!

Posting from my tethered 27" iMac and iPhone 4.

Followed youtube video and it worked perfect! Very Happy!!

 

[coelacanth]

Well that was quick. Glad I caught it on time.

Now what's the best way to backup the apps that's been transferred to mac?

 

[xenonsupra]

downloaded it about an hr ago.

works perfect on my iPhone 4 and Mac Pro

I think I *just* managed to purchase it. A tweet from Mashable came up on Tweetie for Mac and I jumped on the link. But since it's not the computer I usually sync from, I then tried downloading directly from my iPhone and got the not available message. Wow.

I stupidly missed out on Netshare two years ago. If this actually works, this is HUGE for me since I really won't have a good enough reason to jailbreak anymore.

 

[TurboSC]

I can't believe I freakin' missed it.

DAMN YOU APPLE! GIMME MAH TETHARZ NAOW

 

[munkees]

????? How did you get it? I tried the link on the 1st page and on my iphone app store?

it is still up

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/handy-light/id382075956?mt=8

 

[bbotte]

I will not be surprised if this is the first app apple uses the death switch on.

 

[SiskoKid]

Can't get mine to work. When I go to the proxies tab, I don't have that pull down menu saying to configure proxies manually.

Can anyone assist? If I do everything, my airport shows a yellow dot saying self assigned IP.

I'm on Snow Leopard.

 

[jwillpresents]

can someone please for the love of God post how to do this on any Windows 7 browser.

 

[zed]

I still have NetShare installed

 

[goobot]

yay i can play with the colors and tether at the same time!

 

[Topher317]

Grabbed it just in time. Working on my iPhone 4 with 4.0.1 and iPad with 3.2.1!

Would you mind telling me how you got it to work with your iPad?

 

[MotleyGrrl]

it's still up, but the item is no longer available
