Tethering with iPhoneOS 3.0
Some people see the adjective "Geek" as bad thing, almost an insult. Personally I haven't had the slightest problem with it, I'm a pure geek and it's because of this that my life is now so exciting with some great ongoing projects. Anyway, geeks are ruling the world, don't they? I have strong tendencies to the early adopting thing, is it ugly, flawed and only in Aramean ? I don't mind, I try, I help and give feedback's/advice if needed and I often become friend with the team (Producteev.com, Skritter.com, ChineseTeachers.com...etc).
Therefore, as soon as the WWDC (where we discovered the "new" iPhone 3GS and the iPhoneOS 3.0 that comes along) closed its doors, I quickly found a way to install the iPhone 3.0 to try "en avant-premiere" the functionality. I won't bother to tell you how to do and what's new as the iPhoneOS 3.0 release is scheduled for tomorrow, I'll just quickly talk about the new option that I'm really fond of: The Tethering!
Remember before (i.e today...), if you wanted to share your 3G connection with your laptop (I have a Mac) you needed to jailbreak your phone, buy a specific app on Cydia and to have a nervous breakdown by trying to set up the proxy system. Now, with the new tethering (i.e 3G connection sharing with your phone as a modem) option, it takes less than 10 seconds to be online, via USB or Bluetooth :
- You connect the Phone
- Activate the option
I'm really impressed by the ease of the process ! I don't know how carrier will react to that but that option is definitely a killer one that I now use quite often (especially in HK where 3G connection is virtually available everywhere).
