One of the things that excited me most when I heard the 3G upgrade was coming for OS3 was the rumor that we'd be able to tether our iPhones to our computers for wireless internet connectivity. I've had an air card for a few years, but the idea of being able to deactivate that and just use my iPhone's internet connection of course excites me, because it equates to more money in my pocket. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed to learn after the upgrade that AT&T wasn't offering tethering as an option 'yet.'
Well, there is now a work-around. I actually just did this and am now posting this blog post without the use of my standard office internet connection, but rather with the connection my laptop is borrowing from my iPhone. Follow this link to an article at pcmag.com, which will walk you through setting up iPhone internet tethering on your 3G. Once you're done, please come back here and let us know that you successfully pulled it off!
DISCLAIMER: As you'll read in the article, nobody knows if AT&T will charge extra for this or, if they do, how much it will cost, so use it at your own risk!
By the way, what's up with the spellchecker telling me "internet" isn't a word?
