Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Yeah, I didn’t think so. Not in the U.S., anyway, says Apple; at least, not without jail breaking your little friend. Though, for a minute there, it seemed Apple was cool with the idea of using your iPhone’s 3G or EDGE data connection over a SOCKS5 proxy.
Late Thursday night I was doing my usual routine—browsing the App Store for new programs that I just can’t live without—when I found myself in dire need of a reality check.
Nullriver released a straightforwardly named program to the App Store, NetShare. NetShare creates an ad-hoc WiFi network with your iPhone, allowing you to connect wirelessly to a computer and use the iPhone’s EDGE or 3G data connection. I’m guessing this app pretty much goes against the contract you might have with AT&T, though they normally charge an extra $30 for a tethering option. The app costs $10, and was available briefly in the U.S. App Store.
Not anymore, though. Clicking the iTunes product link below pulls up a “... request could not be completed” error for those with U.S. iTunes accounts. If you’re in a country outside the U.S., try it out and let us know if NetShare is available where you are.
Product [NetShare]
Update: It appears NetShare has made its way back to the US App Store. Though, whether this violates your contract is still a bit hazy.
2nd Update: Did you get to ride the NetShare roller coaster? It’s off of the App Store in the US once again. Who wants to take bets on when it’s coming back?
