NetShare Pulled From iPhone App Store (Again)
We’ve been wondering how the people behind NetShare get their app approved by Apple for the iPhone App Store. It adds the ability to tether your laptop to your iPhone, using the handset’s 3G modem as your laptop’s own, meaning you can go pretty much anywhere you can find a decent signal and have full Internet access on your laptop without Wi-Fi, all for free. And then the app was pulled from the store. And then it was back. And now it’s gone again. Hopefully you were lucky enough to grab it while it was available, because we’re not sure Apple’s going to let it out again.

It’s a pity we can’t do this in Australia (and presumably many other countries) where data is not unlimited.
How I use my allocation should be my business.
It’s really quite interesting that Apple are not allowing NetShare to be bought from the Australian Apps Store. Data here is not by any means unlimited and this application would be a godsend to the many of us who are constantlt ‘on the move’.
I find it quite strange, also, that Apple have allowed the application to be bought from the US Apps Store given that most US data plans are virtually unlimited (the highest you can get here is 1.2GB) and ir would therefore be more open to abuse in the states.
Still, we are but mere mortal consumers – what would we know?
