“An iPhone application called iTether that would let iPhone users run their Mac or PC over the phone’s data connection without paying their carrier extra fees appeared in Apple’s App Store last night, to the surprise of many familiar with Apple’s review process,” Tom Krazit reports for paidContent.
“The app lasted just under 12 hours before being removed by Apple Tuesday morning, but briefly became the top-grossing app in the App Store,” Krazit reports. “The app is no longer available in the App Store, to the surprise of very few.”
Krazit reports, “In any event, those who managed to download Tether before it was pulled from the store found a cheap way to use their PC or Mac anywhere, so long as they also have their iPhone. So long as they don’t start downloading pirated HD movies over their carrier’s network (or other bandwidth-intensive files), their carriers may never know that their iPhones are skirting the rules.”
