With the 3.0 update coming out for the iPhone, people have been talking about one of the new features called tethering. Tethering is the process of using your mobile device’s internet connection on your computer. This allows you to have internet on your computer anywhere there is cell service.

While phones like the Blackberry and Palm have had tethering for a few years, Apple has finally updated the new iPhone to include this feature. The problem is the US carrier for the iPhone (AT&T) will not support tethering for quite some time. And when they do decide to support it, they will charge an additional monthly fee.

Up until now, the only way to get tethering on your iPhone was to hack it. An app also came out a while ago that allowed you to do this, but it was quickly pulled from the app store.

So, the crew over at 9to5mac have discovered a way to have tethering with any iPhone running the 3.0 update. They give you step by step instructions on how to do it. All it requires is iTunes 8.2, Their tethering app , and the 3.0 iPhone update.

While this solution is only temporary I’m sure as Apple/AT&T is bound to catch on and fix the vulnerability, it is still very interesting. So be sure to check it out.
