What a bunch of junk is out there, while the real jewels seem lost behind the SEO work of “take you money for\u00a0 nothing” developers like at tether.com. Do not buy tether.com.<\/p>\n
Now I’m trying PdaNet, which is a product from JuneFabrics <\/a>(strange name). Here’s the links and I’ll report back after experimenting a bit.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.junefabrics.com\/android\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n Unfortunately for iPhone folks, it’s not an easy 1,2,3 to use a tethering app. Of course, they can just pay the $25 to $30 a month fee to tether, but that’s so archaic!<\/p>\n The iPhone version of the app will work on any version of iPhone, so PdaNet says.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.junefabrics.com\/iphone\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n The iPhone needs to be jailbroken, here’s the PdaNet comment on jailbreaking. They recommend searching the web for instructions for the particular version of iPhone.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.junefabrics.com\/iphone\/faq.php#jailbreak<\/a><\/p>\n Here’s the google link for iPhone jail breaking<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=iphone+jailbreak+instructions&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g2<\/a><\/p>\n Here’s the Wikipedia entry on iPhones unapproved apps<\/a><\/p>\n But first, the most important take: “…in 2010 Jailbreaking was declared officially legal in the United States by the DCMA.”<\/p>\n The iPhone’s operating system is designed to only run software that has an Apple-approved cryptographic signature<\/a>. This restriction can be overcome by “jailbreaking” the phone,[237]<\/a><\/sup> which involves replacing the iPhone’s firmware<\/a> with a slightly modified version that does not enforce the signature check. Doing so may be a circumvention of Apple’s technical protection measures<\/a>.[238]<\/a><\/sup> Apple, in a statement to the United States Copyright Office<\/a> in response to EFF<\/a> lobbying for a DMCA exception for this kind of hacking, claimed that jailbreaking the iPhone would be copyright infringement<\/a> due to the necessary modification of system software.[239]<\/a><\/sup> However in 2010 Jailbreaking was declared officially legal in the United States<\/a> by the DMCA<\/a>.[240]<\/a><\/sup> Jailbroken iPhones may be susceptible to computer viruses, but few such incidents have been reported.[241]<\/a><\/sup>[242]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n iOS and Android<\/a> 2.3.3 ‘Gingerbread’ may be set up to dual boot on a jailbroken iPhone with the help of OpeniBoot<\/a> or iDroid.[243]<\/a><\/sup>[244]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
