Comments on: NetShare briefly offers iPhone tether at App Store

NetShare, Nullriver's iPhone tethering app, was available for $9.99 in the iTunes App Store briefly Thursday, before being pulled by Apple.

I figure by this afternoon (Friday) it will either be on Nullriver's website, User Groups or Torrents.

This does raise the question of how the Apps Store qualifies applications before posting them. This should never have been even accepted for consideration, let alone allowing it to go to sale. I do wonder if Apple is actually testing or examining the apps before posting them to iTunes.

I do know that on my Touch that the jailbroken apps available through Cydia seem to be much more stable and useful than what is available in the Apps Store. The darn thing crashes enough as it is, but using the official apps from Apple just makes it even more unstable. There's some debate online about whether this is due to the way you install the apps- through iTunes or wireless with the nod going to iTunes causing corruptions. It will be curious to see how this turns out. In the mean time, for reliability, I'll go with the jailbreak apps.

Being able to use your cel connection to do internet connectivity is a feature I use all the time with my Windows Mobile phone. (Plus having a keyboard, being able to do email stuff like "sort by sender", set my out of office message, etc.)

There are other choices besides the iPhone where vendors aren't disabling or prohibiting this kind of useful functionality.
