3G/EDGE Tethering App for iPhone

August 1, 2008 · Print This Article

Nullriver, Inc. has released NetShare onto the iTunes App Store. The $9.99 application promises to allow you to share your iPhone’s network connection with your computer. Share your iPhone’s EDGE or 3G Net connection with your computer using NetShare. NetShare provides a SOCKS5 proxy for your computer to connect to.

NetShare’s inclusion in the App Store is a curiosity, as Apple must have manually approved its inclusion. It’s unclear whether the Application would go against AT&T user agreements. AT&T typically charges Smart Phone users $30/month additional to use tethering applications. Screenshots of the application’s directions have been included here:

This application has been confirmed to work by multiple users.

NetShare is available on the iTunes App Store. Update: The application appears to have gone lost from the App Store. While the application listing still appears, whether you try to purchase it now, iTunes says “The item you tried to buy is no longer available”.

Update 2: For those who were lucky sufficient to get the app, forum user Mac-Addict has posted a detailed tutorial.

Update 3: Developer reply: It is not clear yet why Apple took down the application yet, we’ve received no communication from Apple thus far. NetShare did not violate any of the Developer or AppStore agreements.
