AND this sucks battery like I never would've thought. I'm using it right now with my macbook and my 3G is plugged in, and while I was browsing (with the iphone plugged in) I just got the 20% battery notification. You might need to use it while the phone is plugged into an outlet to keep the power output-intake balanced.]]>Aug 1st 2008 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/

To be fair though, the iPhone has had this for awhile now, this isn't really "new". Its just cool because its a legit app you don't have to Jailbreak for.

I get you don't love the iPhone, I didn't either, thats fine, people have their own tastes. But man, this thing gets better every day, and I can't imagine going back to my WM6 Sprint Mogul (HTC PPC-6800). I actually still have it and had to use to it backup some contacts and that recently.

Yeah, I don't miss that train wreck.]]>Aug 1st 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/
• Apple's proprietary video format
• Apple's proprietary audio format

Did I miss anything? Is there ANYTHING ELSE that the iPhone does that other smartphones CAN'T do? I'm not talking "it is easier / better / prettier" - those are subjective. I'm talking actual features it has that no one else does.]]>Aug 1st 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/
Those "proprietary" formats are actually open standards. Though protected content is proprietary by nature of its DRM, the codecs themselves are not.

As for features, Windows Mobile has gone through many more years of testing and development (it's been over a decade now), so obviously it would have more than OS X "lite" under the hood, but at the same time, it'd be nice if it wasn't such a pig in the interface and be stuck with a sea of wretched hardware that have bare minimum specs, though the likes of HTC are working to correct this (the Diamond is a good example of how a Winmo phone should be). ]]>Aug 1st 2008 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/
This iPhone app uses SOCKS5, meaning many desktop apps will need to be configured to use the socks proxy.

For all the iPhone's supposed ease of use, WM internet sharing is much much simpler than this hack.]]>Aug 1st 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/ Brad wrote @ Aug 1st 2008 3:42PM

Only a couple WM devices I know of have:
- an accelerometer
- automatic screen orientation switching

None of the WM devices I've used have:
- multitouch
- capacitance touchscreen (allows for effortless finger dragging, navigation, and character input)
- screen orientation switching without lag

- automatic screen orientation switching

None of the WM devices I've used have:
- multitouch
- capacitance touchscreen (allows for effortless finger dragging, navigation, and character input)
- screen orientation switching without lag
- larger than 3", higher than QVGA screen in a less than 5 ounce device
- larger than 3", higher than QVGA screen in a less than 0.5" thick device
- quick and reliable syncing
- the ability to run for a week under constant use without requiring one or more resets
- an interface that's consistently responsive

Some of those are subjective and might not be important to you. But they're also quantifiable features. ]]>Aug 1st 2008 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/

Look, reason being they don't want tethering is this...Although Apple will keep spoon-feeding you "this is the real internet on your phone" garbage, guess what it's not. Tethering from a laptop will have the phone download all the full-sized webpages, flash objects, and full javascripts (yep two things the 3G iPhone doesn't support) on each web page.

These full-sized objects ARE significantly larger than the smaller ones, and while I don't know what AT&T's 3G total available bandwidth is, I definitely do notice slowdowns in speed during peak times of the day.

The ultimate fear AT&T has is that all the new 3G iPhone users (read: mostly teenagers and those in their early 20s) are going to start tethering in places where they can't get internet (read: their apartment if they are too cheap to get DSL or cable) and start abusing the network to no end.

While I still think the prices AT&T charge for data are too high, there is a definite reason for not allowing tethering.]]>Aug 1st 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/3Fid%3D286541579%26mt%3D8&t=1217617201]]>Aug 1st 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/Aug 1st 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/The search is case sensitive for some reason.
