Tethering can be done now without jail breaking or switching to a tethered plan, using html5 app and ad-hoc connection to your computer. $30/yr

why does that app have an annual fee?

Your basically paying them a subscription fee, but only $30/yr instead of an extra $20/mo to AT&T to tether. Plus, people with an unlimited plan can tether without giving it up. Many places charge a subscription fee to use their service, although many of those offer a free service and charge for upgrades (I.e. Dropbox, Onlive, WSJ)

I find it interesting that tether.com promotes "one-time fee" as a feature, but tether.com/iphone lists a yearly fee of $30. A subscription fee doesn't seem right for a program that doesn't interface with a service.

if they can do it, someone else will too, likely without a fee

I look forward to that. But basically it has you set up an ad-hoc network between iPhone and computer, and you run a web-app on the iPhone and a normal app on the computer, which allows the computer to access the web through the phone. It's nice that they let you save the web-app to your iPhone springboard, so you have a shortcut to the app without having to visit tether.com every time you use it.

I have no idea whether it can hide the tethering data from ATT so that you don't get caught, nor do I know if it can use the iPad 3G connection for tethering, which MyWi and PDAnet do with jailbroken devices. Until I know more about this and hear from others about the service, I'm keeping my VZW MiFi2200 hotspot.

No experience, but this seems quite useful and on sale today...

TextGrabber + Translator iPhone for $1 http://dealmac.com/iphone/deals/558113.html

I bought it just on the off chance I might need it one day

Just used today in a time saving extract of text from a video presentation. Far from perfect, but got me 80% of the way there.

My daughter dropped her 3G that I jailbroke and gave her a while back.

The headphone jack, power button, and volume buttons are all not functioning.

Probably a bad idea but I'm gonna try and open it tonight to see what I can do.

I've been poking around in my old 3GS and I bet one of the connectors just popped loose. Gentle push and it should work just fine. Be extra careful with the antenna connectors since they break very easily (small round coax units)

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Didn't get to it the other night (taxes) and I was on the road in Southern Oregon yesterday so hopefully tonight.

how many notifications (the red circle) can i have for an app? i want to max one of them out. at 76 right now.

That's lots of Facebook stalkers!

I think some apps like RSS readers for example can climb quite high. I believe I've seen them go three digits.

There's a new browser in town. Looks kinda cool...

Thanks...Mobile Safari's still a buggy mess...

& Opera Mini doesn't offer a fluid using experience...I'll let Yahoo try to wow me...

Is mobile safari significantly different on the iPhone vs iPad? I have no problems with it on the ipad2.

I don't have an iPad...

crashes on me a fair bit...

i'm trying to get my iMessages to appear on both my iphone and ipad, but they stay separate. has anyone been successful in this?

are you using the same account on both? iMessage is really flakey so far. I uninstalled it on my mac because it was delaying my receiving messages on my phone.

yes, same Apple ID. i went to the iphone and added my email address as a Recipient, and changed the Caller ID to be that email address, but my iPhone/iPad messages still show up as separate people to others

Screw Instagram. Anyone else try InstaCRT?

Have a question in regards to the touch/iphone line.

i noticed on innerfidelity that with an Ipad, one can plug in the camera connector dongle and the USB out allows a digital signal to be sent to the Headamp Pico.

Has anyone tried something similar with an ipod touch or iphone and gotten it to work.

Yep and nope. Have to go more expensive routes for that.
