Anyone seen an app that will turn an Iphone into a Wireless Router... Ie teather to the internet. I use that (unmentionalbe) other handheld system and and app called wifirouter. It gets a 3g connection to the net on the device and then uses the wireless side of the phone to provide connections to everyone in range to the net. Works great. Seems like all the hardware is there in the Iphone.. just needs someone to creat the app.

Also interested in just plain teathering as well.

BTW... ATT did detect this on my old phone and charged an extra $10 a month for teathering. It took them about 60 days and then all teather traffic stopped. I called and they said.. we will turn it back on for $10 per month you were operating outside your agreement. I use it all the time in airports or even driving down the highway. It is great.

Currently only if you jailbreak it.

would apple allow you to post such an App on the Store? does it follow the agreement of the iphone sdk?
