Those who tether their BlackBerrys are in for a treat as it was recently made known that the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager, version 5.0.1, includes an option to do just that. With this new version all you do is connect your BlackBerry and click ‘Connect to Internet’ and you’re good to go.

What you see above is a screen shot taken from a leaked version of 5.0.1 which you can download in English, here.

My Tether is an application for your Palm Pre which will help you tether your device. Unfortunately the app is not officially supported just yet and it might never be. My Tether will let you use the Pre as a modem or as a 3G router and it will let you connect your computer to the Pre via USB, Bluetooth or WiFi.

My Tether is available in two versions. 1.5 is available for free although you’d have to know how to install and configure it while version 2.0 costs $10 but it also comes with an automated installer. See how it all works in the video above!

AT&T is denying those rumors saying that future iPhone tethering plan will cost $55 and it’s doing that via Facebook. That’s an odd, but interesting way to announce something like that. Especially since the company hasn’t actually announced the official pricing for iPhone tethering. I guess Facebook isn’t the place to make such an announcement, is it? Here’s what AT&T said:

There are a lot of reports out there, but wanted you guys to know that rumors of $55 tethering plan on top of an unlimited data plan are false. We’ll have more news to share when the iPhone tethering option is closer to launch.

AT&T hasn’t announced the official availability dates for iPhone tethering either so we’re just going to have to wait for it some more.

If you want to tether your iPhone without jailbreaking then that’s also possible. Not exactly legal, but probably better than jailbreaking your handset.

First off you need to upgrade the OS to version 3.0 and then you will be able to start tethering in almost no time. This solution is said to work in any country, regardless of what carrier you’re working with. What you have to do is go to a certain site from your iPhone, help.benm.at, then download a file which will reconfigure your local carrier profile and the tether your phone as if you already have that option available.

The downsize of this procedure seems to be that it might disable MMS and/or voicemail. And it might also be detected by your favorite carrier, in which case you should expect some sort of slap on the wrist. Now that you’ve been warned, go ahead and do what you will to your iPhone!

Although not officially supported by Sprint just yet, Palm Pre data tethering is already possible. The hack is pretty simple if you’re mind is used to terms like SSH, SOCKS, root or proxy. What you have to do is get the Pre in root mode, enable SSH and the configure your browser to connect to your favorite websites through a SOCKS proxy. You should probably know that this kind of playing with the Pre will get Sprint mad so get ready to suffer the consequences of your tethering actions.

Although we already know that AT&T is going to support MMS and tethering on the iPhone 3GS a little later this summer we hear now that the carrier is already supporting MMS messages and tethering on the current iPhone 3G as long as it’s running iPhone OS 3.0.

iPhone 3.0 hasn’t been released yet but it’s available for download from various torrent sites. That doesn’t mean you have to go ahead and get it and try to make MMS and tethering work on your own. But you can always wait a few more days to officially get OS 3.0 and the iPhone 3GS. Then you can bother AT&T’s customer service asking them how to enable MMS and tethering on your iPhone.

You must have been pleasantly surprised by Apple’s new vision of the iPhone. There’s Copy, Cut and Paste, video recording, voice control, a compass and lots of other features. There’s even MMS and tethering support. That’s when you might have been unpleasantly surprised by the fact that AT&T will only support MMS and tethering later on. What’s the matter Apple, did you fail to tell your exclusive partner about the new iPhone 3.0 OS features?

So why is AT&T not supporting MMS until later this summer? It looks like the company will have to manually remove all the “Opt Out MMS codes” on every account. Really AT&T? 29 carriers around the world will offer MMS for the iPhone 3GS at launch.

As for the whole tethering thing, Apple isn’t saying no to it straight away. But it will take a while until AT&T will launch a $70/month unlimited data and tethering plan for the iPhone 3GS. 22 carriers in 44 countries will offer iPhone 3GS tethering at launch.

But these are just rumors for now, waiting for some sort of confirmation. And since we’re speaking about tethering, will Sprint offer Pre tethering?

We’re annoyed to bring this to you especially since we were so excited to announce that the Pre will have official support for tethering. It looks like Palm or Sprint or both decided to remove that tethering feature from the list. We can only hope that the feature still exists inside the Pre and someone clever enough will find a way to unleash it once Sprint will release the smartphone. After all we’ve seen tethering with other phones that were not supposed to offer it.

Unlike the iPhone back when it was released, the Palm Pre will allow you to tether it. According to Sprint’s site the phone will let you share your EV-DO Rev. A connection to your laptop or desktop. You’ll be able to share that connection via Bluetooth or USB cable. You get to choose. Will the competitors consider tethering as a feature for their phones?

We’ve talked about iPhone tethering for so many times so far that it should only be fair for AT&T and Apple to officially settle the deal so far. We’ve seen both legal and illegal tethering version so we should only be waiting for the officially official version.

Is Tuesday’s Macworld keynote going to reveal an AT&T iPhone tethering plan? The plan has been rumored cost $30 per month for 5GB. Sounds familiar? Well that’s what AT&T BlackBerry users are paying so far. Will we be disappointed this Tuesday or will we be excited? We’ll answer that question soon.

Will we finally have an official AT&T iPhone tethering plan? It looks like that’s going to happen. According to various rumors the tethering plan will cost $30 per month and it will bring you a 5GB traffic limitation. When traffic reaches the 5GB cap the connection will be cut which means you won’t get any surcharges. As always, there’s no news about the official release date but since we’re talking about AT&T this rumored might just get confirmation.

Boy did we cover the whole tethering-your-iPhone idea, or what? After NetShare got canceled from the App Store, there was no official tethering program. Sure you could always jailbreak your phone and then use various programs out there. But Apple and AT&T didn’t support any of them.

In a recent interview, Ralph De La Vega, AT&T Mobility CEO, admitted the fact that the carrier is working on tethering your iPhone. We’d like to learn more about AT&T’s intentions. Are we going to see special tethering plans? Probably yes. Will people pay more to tether their handset? That’s what I suspect so far.

Before the iPhone 3G was launched we were already passing around rumors about its tethering abilities. After the phone was released we didn’t get any official tethering support although people have tried. Now the G1 is the latest hot phone and the tethering questions remains.

A Graham Stewart took the problems in his hands and made an Android proxy application which will tether your G1. You will be able to share your Internet connection with your computer via USB. The application works but it’s not officially recognized by Google or T-Mobile. Fortunately it’s not forbidden yet by neither of them.

There are lots of applications inside Apple’s App Store but none of them can do tethering. And we all want that. We’d like that and copy paste thank you!

The last official then unofficial then official then canceled for good application which did some tethering for you was NetShare. Now there’s a new app in town called iPhone Modem. Sure you will have to jailbreak your freshly installed firmware 2.1 but since the iPhone Dev Team has already managed to crack it, what do you have to loose? (more…)

Here’s an interesting rumored we’ve came across. Apple and AT&T are apparently working on iPhone tethering. Well why not simply allow that much debated third application we like to call NetShare back in the App store?

iPhone tethering is available after jailbreaking your phone first but if AT&T gets wind of any of that you will get in trouble.

On another hand AT&T is offering tethering support for various BlackBerries so why not allow the same service for the iPhone? I am sure iPhone users wouldn’t mind tethering it once in a while.

Sprint Nextel appears to have lowered the price of their Phone as Modem add on plans to $15 per month. That’s a huge $35 drop from the initial $50 per month fee. That’s quite a good deal or certainly a better one than what Sprint had running before.

In order to qualify for it you’ll have to abide by some rules. First of all you will need to own a Power Vision phone which can be tethered to a computer. Then you should get a data plan if you didn’t have one, just so you have the data to tether. Keep in mind that Sprint has a 5GB monthly data usage limit and a 300MB off-network limit in place and don’t go overboard too often.

Do you remember NetShare? The iPhone 3G application which lets you tether your iPhone was allowed in the App Store only to be canceled and then accepted again. Well apparently Apple has decided to disallow it after all. AT&T’s word must count for something. AT&T has confirmed that any tethering from your iPhone won’t be tolerated. I wonder what other carrier around the globe feel about it. (more…)

I actually don’t know what’s going on through Apple’s mind today. First they allow Nullriver to sell their Netshare application through the App Store. Then they pull the plug only to allow them to do it again. I guess it’s all in a day’s work and as today is Friday, freaky things can happen. (more…)

All iPhone owners would like to use their iPhone as a modem for once in a while. You know, those times when your ISP decides to act crazy for a couple of days can be really annoying. Tethering your iPhone would come in handy right?
