Sorry if you missed it, but I was one of the fortunate few who got in on this before it was pulled from the app store.

Works like a charm, using it right now for this post.

Missed this one by mere minutes...

Yeah the second i read about this I hopped over to the app store. I knew there was no way in hell this was going to last for more than a couple hours.

Another great thing about it is it works with multiple computers. I had my desktop and my laptop running on it at the same time.

I got lucky and bought the app as soon as I saw the article on engadget. Works fine in mac, but I couldn't get it to work in 7. Definitely 99 very well spent cents .

Worse case if you will really use a thethering app you can always jailbreak.  I had one but really never used it much.  I can see how useful it could be though.  Isn't this one of the bones people have to piuck with AT&T?  Didn't they say it would be avalible?

They said it would be available almost a year and a half ago. They JUST released it with the new iphone 4 update. However they want to screw you by charging an extra $20 plus they require that if you have the old unlimited data plan that you switch to the new limited data plan thus nerfing the ability to tether allowing a mere 2 gigabytes of data a month. This little gem of an app side steps the entire issue and allows the unlimited folks to do as they please for a one time fee of $.99. 

Also no jailbreak yet for iphone 4 which makes it all the more sweet being that tethering is the only reason I would jailbreak anyway, now there is little incentive to do so.
