The Monkey Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Tethering necessarily means jailbreaking, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Correct. These are acts that proper lawyers like us would not condone. These country lawyers and their loose ethical standards. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 jailbreaking takes 1 minute What are the disadvantages, if any (aside from your family being cursed by Jobs for a thousand years)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I dont know if its the same with the itouch and the iphone but when you restart (full shutdown) your itouch after its been jailbroken, you have to have a computer to boot it up also, no warranty if you brick it while jailbroken and can't take advantage of apple updates right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I don't believe in angering my benevolent fascist Apple overlords. Listen to Al. You wouldn't want to lower yourself to my level. Pay the $130 and $20/ month foe the 3G for those very few timews you will need it Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 for me, running apps in the background made jailbreaking worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not to say there aren't glitches every so often but nothing that is a big deal. If your iPhone has been upgraded to the latest software then jail breaking is not an option at this time. Once your warranty is up there are no issues. Jail breaking is completely reversible with a restore. Being able to run apps in the background is a big deal for me. I would love that option with the iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Ah, I see. Then how does the iPad "see" it? Also, how does it work with Shelly's pre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 They both act like wifi routers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I guess I didn't realize the Pre could be used for this purpose. So could I use my Verizon Eris with an unjailbroken iPad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 yup dinny, you can. Any wifi connection works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) Wait, Mike, i thought your iPad was jailbroken? Just my iPhone. There is no jailbreak for the iPad yet. Dinny, the only way to tether with the iPad is for the iPad to think the other device is a wifi connection. With my MacBook I can do a USB tether or Bluetooth tether.

Or to invoke Gregory Benford's Corollary to Clarke's Third Law* The phrase you were looking for was "insufficiently advanced" technology. *Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
