Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 – running time 07:19

Tether your iPhone to your laptop or other wifi device with MyWi and a slew of other applications on your jailbroken phone.

Tethering! It's that thing promised to us long ago with the release of the iphone 3.0 firmware. I'm talking of course about the ability to use your iPhones 3G data connection on your desktop or laptop computer to access the web from anywhere. So after over a year of being teased, I've just about had it. It's time to jailbreak and tether.
