iPhone doubles up as wireless modem

iPhone doubles up as wireless modem
Short of saving the world, is there anything the iPhone cannot do? Those who want to go online using their iPhone as a modem can now do so with Tinyproxy, enabling you to surf the Net on your Mac laptop at EDGE speeds. Sure, EDGE isn't exactly the fastest rat in the pack, but at least it offers an alternative during dire moments where you absolutely have to get online to retrieve that all important document from your office mail. You can download Tinyproxy from Installer.app, while setup instructions can be found at DragonForged.com. I say get a 3G line already!

Also, your Nokia N95 (while it DOES rule) costs twice as much as the iPhone.
Given the functionality for the price (especially with the updated firmware), the iPhone is actually quite decent.

Can you hook up the pocket pc to be used as a modem with a windows based laptop. I have been able to do this with a motorola v90 (I know outdated don't laugh) but it has saved me when I need web access to remote into my radio stations. Thanks for you review on the IPHONE I was hoping someone would be honest about the over priced phone.

Anything it cant do..hmmmmm...lets see: Send SMS to more than 1 person at a time, copy/paste, sync notes, view documents, save photo attachments, take a decent picture, browse the Internet at a usable speed, etc, etc, etc. I had a pocket PC phone 4 YEARS AGO that outperformed my iPhone in almost every way. Yeah, I'm unsatisfied....yeah, I'm getting rid of it, yeah...Apple is all hype (I have a Macbook, Macbook Pro, Mini and a Titanium...Which genius at Apple thought it was a good idea to build a 'state-of-the-art', $3000 dollar notebook a year ago that can not hold any more than 2GB of RAM???????? Apple is now, and always will be about NON-expandability and HARD, PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS!!!! We've bought in to the hipster hype. Its BS and they are LAUGHING while rolling around naked in our money! F Apple!!!
