Once could have been a mistake, but twice? Netshare was certainly visible in the App Store during its second materialisation on Friday evening UK, where it could be purchased for £5.99 ($9.99 US, standard crap deal, don't get us started). And it works - but in operation it is a way off of the ease of use and simplicity of your dull, old-style non-3-Jesus phone hung off your Mac via Bluetooth.* That is not the fault of the software's developer, Nullriver, and it is not (entirely) the fault of AT&T or of Reg HQ's local iPhone purveyor O2. It is the fault of Apple for borking the iPhone's Bluetooth stack, and of network providers whose 'all you can eat' deals will only work so long as customers don't get into the habit of using them.

I think people are quickly going to realize they have replaced one evil overlord for another. Can you imagine the uproar if a carrier pulled an application like this?
It's only the iRose Colored Glasses that are preventing the fan boys from revolting.

Softbank said it would more than halve its monthly fees for the iPhone, less than a month after the much-hyped handset was introduced to the Japanese market.
ReplyDelete....wow I wonder if this means Japanese people dont think the iPhone is that big a deal because their handset OS is already equal/better than the USA 'trendsetter'.
Cheers,
