PdaNet is not a new app, nor are apps for tethering new. I even wrote about and downloaded PdaNet back in Sept.\u00a0 Story here.<\/a> I never did have a use for it, nor did I expect I ever would, till today.\u00a0 I took a 2 mile walk to starbucks (need the exercise) expecting to have a coffee and do some geeking. The wireless was down!!\u00a0 WT??\u00a0 Great.\u00a0 Then I remembered PdaNet.\u00a0 I tried to set it up once when it was netshare and had little luck with it.\u00a0 Well, now that I had time on my hands, I gave it another try.<\/p>\n

Wow.\u00a0 It worked!\u00a0 Ok, the setup was not perfect, had to redo this and that, but I got it going after dropping the firewall. I was really impressed how quick it was. Sure, its 3G, and I was just surfing and doing a bit of SSH, but still, as a back up, this was great!\u00a0 Course, the happiness did not last forever.\u00a0 Two things messed it up.\u00a0 When mail came in, it broke the connection for some reason. And then 3G… Feh.. 3G. Just plain spotty.<\/p>\n

Still, get this app.\u00a0 Do it!\u00a0 You need to jailbreak, but given that this is the travel season, having back up internet access is sweet!<\/p>\n
