Soo.. did anyone else read that as "use more than 5GB of data and you can get out of your contract?
Reminds me of the time Sprint cancelled a bunch of contracts because those customers were calling too often with service complaints. lol.
You probably need it plugged into the laptop to work in the first place, so it's charging the iPhone. The battery is still powering the 3g antenna and processing the incoming data.
Yeah, but configuring the socks app from installer.app wasn't the most user-friendly thing in the world. This is basically click-and-go.

Can I FTP with Fetch?
I'm a freelance photographer for a handful of newspapers and currently have to FTP my photos back to the papers from a Starbucks or other hotspot.
I've heard that some people are having trouble getting some programs to work on their laptops with Netshare... such as mail, and AIM..
Has anyone tried using Fetch or any other FTP program with it??

Same here. I am covered 99% of the time, but while I was at my aunts house I need to connect to our server via SSH / VNC or pcAnywhere and could not.

Like that matters. As of this week's California court ruling, consumers have the right to terminate a mobile contract without the early term. fee. The telcom's are in trouble. I don't think it will be long until we see more European type protections in a lot of these arenas.
well this might stop the crying of "WHERE'S FLASH????" since now they can see flash through a notebook
Mine works
OK I had to do this, because you never know when I might need it (emergency). So it will sit all nice and quiet on my phone (like home owners insurance) . And sometime down the line when I need it, it will be there. Because if I need it, I'll pay the price.

I agree 100%. I bought it mainly as a novelty and to support Nullriver, but I don't see myself using it very much at all.
Well I got it. If it turns out to be illegal, I'm hoping I can get my money back. I mean, if Apple is offering it in their store, and they know that it does, why should I be held responsible?
We'll see I guess
How could this possibly be illegal? ATT/Apple doesn't care if you use this. You signed a contract saying you would not use ATT's data plan for tethering. They will just charge you. Nothing criminal about this.
I haven't been able to set it up on a PC running Vista Ultimate. If someone figures this out, please share.
I sent Nullriver and email asking but they didn't answer 2 seperate emails on their Tuner App. so I'll just have to wait and see.
I'm trying to think of something I could say that would be more misleading.
Smoking isn't bad for you?
"Judge, I bought the shovel I killed my wife with at the hardware store, how can that be illegal?"
In my country of residence, the providers have clear limits on the amount of data included with an iPhone plan. They vary between 100 MB and 1 GB per month. Every MB on top of that costs $.1. If somebody starts downloading 5 GB per month, it is going to cost him at least $400.
I'm gonna laugh when they remove the app again and you didn't get a copy.
Look, either AT&T will allow it, in which case it will be there next week, or they won't, in which case I'm sure 2.1 will "break" this app. In that case, you just wasted $10.
So either way, I see no downside to waiting a week and seeing how this pans out.
Actually it works over the wifi, not the cable. "Tethering" is now a misnomer.
Exactly!
This is the way I see such apps. Pretty much a solution when you have no other. The only thing you could ask for is a more general solution.
What is notable with iPhone is that I've greatly reduced my need for that laptop anyways. Actually very pleased with 3G even with all the current Apple bugs.

Waaaaaahhhhhh!!! Have u ever had such great integration between mobile, desktop and Internet experiences? They'll work out the kinks.
Doh! I thought it said 99¢, but whatever…
Unofficially if you are using laptop connect, and you go over 6GB a month they don't really say thing, but I don't know about the other plans. The official cap is 6GB…
read the contract, its not "unlimited" and specifically forbids tethering
