Share the love: use the iPhone’s EDGE connection on your laptop
Among the laundry list of complaints some users have made about the iPhone, one is that you can’t use the iPhone as a modem for your laptop. While it’s convenient to have this always-on connection to the Internet, sometimes you want to take advantage of it with a big screen and a full, real keyboard. I know it’s one of the things I miss about my old Motorola E815.
But, with a little elbow grease and hackery, it is possible to share the iPhone’s net connection with your laptop, a process called “tethering.” The folks over at Lifehacker have put together a tutorial showing you how to accomplish this feat of derring-do. It’s worth noting, however, that it’ll require you to jailbreak your phone, so if you’re not comfortable doing that, well, this probably isn’t for you.
