iPhone 3.0 FlashNews: Tethering by USB and Bluetooth Hacked

Few hour ago, a iPhone developer was “hacking around” with the carrier bundle files and iPhone with the beta firmware 3.0 loaded. He somehow first managed to activate the tethering preferences. Not only that, he was additionally able to actually tether his iPhone 3G to his laptop by USB. Based on the preference panel, it appears that you will be able to tether via USB or Bluetooth.

Tethering is a feature that allows you to share your iPhone’s Net connection with your laptop, but has not been an allowed feature up until iPhone 3.0. Even with iPhone

3.0, mobile carriers generally charge an additional fee in the U.S. to allow tethering access.

Apple admitted yesterday that they had built in tethering support into the 3.0 release but had not yet coordinated with mobile carriers.
