too bad PDAnet decided to stop working on my jailbroken iphone, idk why. It never show up in my ad-hoc network on my pc, even after the latest update to pdanet which was supposed to fix the issue. Anyone else know why this is happening to me, it worked perfectly before (months ago) and just stopped working.
Also, this device is better in a way that it allows you to connect devices without using an ad-hoc network, so i can do something like sync my zune's channels over 3g, but I wouldn't be willing to pay the extra $$$ to my isp if my iphone was working! and $60 a month for data is fucking ridiculous from these carriers, wtf, i can get it for $30 on my phone, why $60 on a laptop???!! Makes no sense with the 5gb cap, I won't be using any faster or more bandwidth than on a phone!
^^ Your problem is that you can't appreciate all devices for their individual strengths and merits, and spend way too much time getting your panties in a tussle over it.
Ok, it goes like this. Create ad-hod network on your laptop/pc/whatever, take the iPhone, connect to the network (it will appear as any other WiFi in the Settings) and then lunch PDAnet. Works for me like that, no problems - it just runs down the battery even if you're charging the phone, :]
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
why not just use your jailbroken iphone.
Seems like some people don't mind paying their phone comapny over and over and over.

^^^Your problem is that you have a joke of a phone. It's meant for babies, not for tech aware individuals, jailbroken or not.
