Netshare, Data Tethering Application for iPhone 3G Pulled by Apple
Modem access or tethering is an in-demand feature for the iPhone. Even though AT&T provides data tethering options at an additional cost for its other smartphones, it doesn’t offer a similar feature for the iPhone. NullRiver, the developer of Installer.app had recently made available, a data tethering application called Netshare in the App Store that allowed the sharing of an iPhone’s EDGE or 3G Internet connection with a computer. Netshare basically turned the iPhone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, enabling a Wi-Fi enabled device or laptop to surf the internet using the iPhone’s data connection. However this application was removed from the App Store recently with “no explanation” as per Nullriver.
