Alex Dobie - PdaNet 3.02 (free)
When
you're on the road, the ability to tether your phone to a laptop or
netbook can be invaluable. But due to carrier or software restrictions,
this isn't possible on every Android device right out of the box. And
some users still experience problems using Android's native tethering
abilities with certain carriers, even if the service isn't blocked at
the software level.
PdaNet
gracefully side-steps many of the issues associated with tethering,
offering the ability to share your phone's data connection via USB or
Bluetooth. The Bluetooth option can have you up and running in seconds
-- simply pair your phone with your laptop, hit "Enable Bluetooth DUN"
and follow the instructions. USB tethering requires a little more
groundwork, as you'll need to install the PdaNet client on your PC or
Mac first, but once you've done that, everything works without a hitch.
PdaNet 3.02 is available for free on the Android Market.
