iPhone Apps We Love: NetShare – Share Your 3G/EDGE Connection With Your Computer

NetShare is one app we never thought would make it onto the official iPhone App Store. All it does is set up a SOCKS5 proxy for you to get your laptop/computer online through use of the 3G/EDGE connection. Does it work? Yes. Yes it does. EDGE works just fine, although Mahoney says it’s slow as balls. 3G impressions in a sec. Be careful of how much bandwidth you’re using, since your provider probably makes a frowny face at you using their network to power your laptop, however “unlimited” your plan may be. [NetShare - Thanks Matthew and Ryan!]

    Any idea why it isn’t available on the Australia iTunes store?

    It’s back up. I’ve just downloaded it from the Australian iTunes store.

    Back down again. I could only find it by searching the store and when I tried to purchase it I got a message saying it was no longer available.
