Update: oh, it's down again.]]>http://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/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/netshare-iphone-tethering-app-reappears-in-the-app-store/#comments
Well, who knows what's going on here, but Nullriver's Netshare iPhone tethering app has made a reappearance for download by direct link only in the App Store, after getting unceremoniously yanked last night. It won't show up in searches, but you can still get it if you know the link -- that's a bit odd. Nullriver told Macrumors that it doesn't believe the SOCKS proxy violates any of the App Store SDK restrictions, and that while AT&T has tethering restrictions for its 3G network, other carriers around the world don't, making the app legit in its opinion. Looks like Apple's agreed -- for now. We did a quick hands-on video last night, check it out after the break.

Update: Yeah, it's offline again. This has really got to be drumming up sales, though. Well done, Nullriver. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Maybe. (updated with video)]]>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/tether-your-iphone-wirelessly-maybe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/tether-your-iphone-wirelessly-maybe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/tether-your-iphone-wirelessly-maybe/#comments
We're not sure how this one got past Apple's App Store censors, but the clever kids at Nullriver have released what appears to be the first tethering solution for the iPhone. The $10 NetShare app is just a SOCKS proxy that links an ad-hoc WiFi network to the iPhone's 3G or EDGE connection -- and if we could get it to work, we'd probably think it was a fine, if hacky, solution to a major limitation of Steve's baby. As it stands, though, the instructions are pretty sparse, and while we can get the app to recognize a connection, we're not able to actually load anything. We're not sure how long this one's going to last -- anyone else willing to give it a shot before it gets yanked?

[Thanks, Zoli; Warning, link opens iTunes]

Update: Aaaaand it's offline. Shocking.

Update 2: We've added our own video hands-on after the break.
