someone who already has the app just needs to share it on bittorrent or something. apple hasn't blocked the app from working yet, so if you install it manually it should work.

I downloaded this Friday night from iTunes UK and spent several hours getting it to work on an XP PC. It's a bit of a workaround and requires Proxifier to also be installed on the PC but works just fine. I now have an O2 unlimited 3G connection in my laptop running through the iPhone.

I was just on the app store reading the reviews on it and as soon as I saw a review saying someone OK'd it through AT&T, I went back to buy it and a popup came up saying "the item you have chosen is unavailable" or something. This was done on my iPhone of course, and I will try the iTunes app store ASAP. Hope this helps.

Macenstein is reporting that Apple has pulled it. No longer available.

It's a shame - I would have been all over this one.

It wouldn't surprise me if AT&T had anything to do with this. With their PDA phones, you have to pay an extra monthly fee to tether your phone (according to AT&T) even if you have a PDA plan for your phone.

It's in preparation for the new Apple Tablet or whatever it is.

Seriously, I doubt AT&T cares, since the $30 per month 3G data plan actually costs $43 per month to consumers, and there's a 5GB per month limit anyway. Apple would want to enable tethering in part because it limits the interest in jailbreaking the phone, increasing app store revenues, and gives them the ability to provide tethering to all their notebooks (and of course others). For consumers, it means we don't have to buy a 3G sim card wireless router. Hurray.
