Tether your Jailbroken iPhone!



If you have an iPhone, and the desire to use At&t's "unlimited" data usage contract to the full extent, Then you want to "Tether"!
Tethering is when you use your cellular network as an Ad-HOC Wi-Fi network.
Now since your contract has a mandatory unlimited data plan might as well use it, right?
Picture yourself out in the middle of the woods, you have no Wi-Fi and you need to... Play some World Of Warcraft or something just as productive.

The best way to do this is to jailbreak your device, and download an app called PDAnet. You can use the demo for as long as you like, I bought it since I use it all the time, as I am on it now actually. Once downloaded you create Ad-Hoc network connection through your computer, name the network whatever you want, then connect to it on your iphone.
It's fast, secure, and easy to use.

My Top Ten IPhone Apps

Recently I picked up a new 3gs, It's considerable faster than my previous 3g.
Once I had it, I felt the need to get some new apps. After searching for a few
hours, and testing each app for a lengthy amount of time I'm ready to compile my list.

So Here are the top ten I use the most.
I left out the usuals like Facebook, Aim, and such.

1 ) PDAnet - The best tethering app! Unfortunately it's a 3rd party app.
2 ) Things - Syncs with "Things" on OS X. Its a great time management program, that also syncs with iCal.
3 ) Mint - Mint.com's mobile financial app. Track bank accounts, credit & debit cards, loans.
4 ) Around Me - Great app for when you looking for, say a bank, or coffee shop in unfamiliar territory.
5 ) Flickr/photobucket - Photo uploading has never been this easy.
6 ) PocketDyno - 1/4 & 1/8 mile times, G force meter, horse power and torque calculation.
Very accurate.
7 ) FriendSync - Takes your friends default Facebook pic and ties it to there contact info.
So when they call you can see their smiling mug.
8 ) Rowmote - Lets you control any Mac wirelessly, all applications not just iTunes.
9 ) Speedo - Speedometer app tells your speed. I found out my Jeep is 20mph off at 65mph.
10 ) Flashlight - This app puts your phones brightness on max, so the light is at its brightest.
On closing the app brightness is restored to its previous level. This is also a 3rd party app though.

I'd like to see what apps you use most.
