March 11, 201214 yr comment_503070 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 http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=8GkbAiRMf40&feature=player_embedded&feature=player_embedded&v=8GkbAiRMf40&gl=US Report
March 12, 201214 yr comment_503275 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) Report
March 12, 201214 yr comment_503290 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. Report
March 12, 201214 yr comment_503295 if they can do it, someone else will too, likely without a fee Report
March 12, 201214 yr comment_503379 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. Report

April 17, 201214 yr comment_509943 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. Report
April 18, 201214 yr comment_510160 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) Report
April 19, 201214 yr comment_510338 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. Report

April 24, 201214 yr comment_511149 I think some apps like RSS readers for example can climb quite high. I believe I've seen them go three digits. Report

May 24, 201214 yr comment_516983 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. Report

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 Report
May 27, 201214 yr comment_517527 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. Report
