iPhone 4 Beta Shows AT&T Tethering
An anonymous reader found news that will strike fear into the hearts of every 3G user in NYC. "Apple released iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 4 on Tuesday evening and it wasn't long before developers found the strongest evidence yet that tethering for US-based iPhone customers may happen sooner than later."
If a company has a device that doesn't support tethering, why would you buy their products if you want to tether it? Why hype-up that they've "finally" included the damn thing, when it's been a standard feature on phones since GPRS and Bluetooth were available (my phone does it and that was released in 2003)?

There goes the signal to noise ratio (and the neighborhood)...

because tethering isn't THE ONLY THING people care about in a phone?

because theres a lot more to a phone, like being a phone, than the one thing you seem to think is the only thing people care about if they want tethering.

They made great promises about tethering but none came true :(
Be yourself and aim high!
WTF uses over 5GB a month on their phone?
Anyone who's tethering regularly.
