iPhone Tethering App Released, Killed In 2 Hours

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-they-wonder-why-we-jailbreak dept.

tjhayes writes "The iPhone App Store released an application called NetShare that allowed the iPhone to tether a laptop to the internet. It was priced at a $10 one-time fee. After being available for approximately 2 hours, the application has disappeared from the apps store. What exactly are AT&T/Apple trying to accomplish here?" They are trying to prove what is wrong with DRM, and demonstrate why hackers want to jailbreak the iPhone.

    I believe it is against the EUL for developing applications on the iPhone.

    You don't like their terms, don't use their product.
