NetShare is Back
Posted 08/01/2008 at 3:13:42pm | by Roberto Baldwin

NetShare is back in the iTunes App Store after being pulled by Apple for unknown reasons.

If you're interested in tethering your MacBook to your iPhone and you're certain you won't run afoul of your carrier, you might want to check it out here. 

UPDATE: Well, that was short lived. NetShare has once again been pulled form the iTunes App Store. Nullriver states on their site, that as of August 1, they still have not received word from Apple on why the app was pulled. Apple has yet to comment on the matter.

I'm allowed to tether with my $30.00 6 GB data plan on Rogers HSPA/EDGE network. Problem is Apple appears to not want anyone to have this app which makes no sense since it doesn't harm the iPhone EDGE or iPhone 3G models. Apple can if they wanted to filter apps in the App Store based on country so they don't upset AT&T for their American customers who aren't allowed to tether on the iPhone. Apple is not just upsetting their developers but also their customers by censoring apps without any notification to either developer or their customers as to the reason why it was pulled. The NetShare app was available when I was at work but I was to busy to download it though I thought I would be able to download it after work. I was wrong in that assumption since Apple's goons monitoring the App Store pulled the app again. Actions such as this are contradictory to fair business practice and will leave customers with more reason to not buy from the App Store and instead hack their iPhones to use installerapp 4 when released.

they say they we're having communication issues and are working with Apple to resolve them.

I hope that is all it is. http://www.nullriver.com/
