I'll ask again because nobody answered me like 9 pages ago: If I use my battery case (which plugs into the 30 pin doc connector and has a micro USB which I can charge/sync through) will it still work or does it need the 30 pin dock and I have to go naked? I already bought it, I can go naked but I'd rather leave the case on because I know what happens when I take the case off for 5 seconds, it ends up on the ground somehow or another.
Got a tip for us?

Is it just me, or does the TET in their logo look like a little guy giving two middle fingers to the world?

I got this last night and thought it was the most expensive $15 I spent on a 118KB file. And when I get getting the license expired or failed to authenticate messages, I thought I got screwed. The company's Twitter and Facebook messages were a bit encouraging, but still felt I had been had.
This morning, their servers seems to have stabilized, and I was finally able to test it out with my 4S. The speed is amazing. And it's so easy. Just launch the app, launch the Mac component, and I'm online instantly. The Mac component didn't crash on me. (MBA 2011 on 10.7.2) Speedtest was around 3 Mbps down. It certainly feels faster than the Internet at work. It may have been an expensive app, but it's worth it. Certainly better than paying an additional $20 PER MONTH to get AT&T's permission to tether. I would only need to tether when I'm not around Wi-Fi anyway, and that's rare.
Hope they do make good on their word to get rid of authentication. And Bluetooth tethering would be nice.

No longer available in the US iTunes Store...
Thank god I bought mine while it was available. Whew!
Well seeing as it is gone from the App Store and you can no longer buy it. Is it really stealing if you download it through Installous because it's there.
Have you tried using the installous version?
EDIT - This is voodoo but people from sinfuliphone are confirming that hacks are working ie installous downloads.
All courageous unlimited users who are forging ahead, please keep us posted if you get a warning from AT&T. Hopefully, they won't recognize the tethering.
I've been tethering almost constantly since yesterday at noon when my DSL went down. I'm still using it and my DSL is still down. No warning yet. Used almost 800MBs in 20hrs.
For those of you having trouble with the download:
It's working quite well for me. It's significantly faster than my Spring 3G data card.
- Google "Tether-iPhone.dmg" and you'll find sites that have hosted the file
- Once installed, restart your Mac (the application crashes a lot otherwise)

Yes. It's not iTunes per se, but you need the supporting utilities that come with it.

crap tried to buy it 837 pacific time....not available from app store anymore
If you JB, you can get it from alternate places.
Is it just gone from the US store or world wide. There is a difference.
If just US then that is the carriers saying they want it blocked. If world wide then yet another example if Apple puss poor working with dems and changing their mind and going back on their word.
Of course, at that point you are better off going with TetherMe. Cheaper and it enables native tethering with the personal hotspot feature.
Either you have the app now or you don't. It has been pulled. If you have it, test it yourself. If you don't have it then you missed out.
But I would venture to say NO it would work with that and the connector on the case is only for charging.

I got the app on my iPhone but I didn't get to download the PC file yet since I'm at work. That file won't be a problem getting from the iTether developer's website right?
I did manage to test it out (I was trying to load the manual on their website which was just so over crowded still, because I didn't know how to work it) but I tried just plugging it in and opening both programs and it worked over 30 pin connector really easily, so then I tried micro usb and to my surprise/delight that too works!
If you go back to this thread maybe 2 or 3 back, someone published a mirror of somekind. You better get it now otherwise it may not be available later. This apps is a sought after by thousands if not milliions and that exe or dmg maybe banned one way or another.
You, I feel for. The scared-of-the-dark crowd who DID know but were too scared to go for it I have no empathy for if they missed out.
