Flashlight App secretly allows iPhone tethering
Handy-Light is a new Flashlight App available for the iPhone. In actuality it isn't a Flashlight App but an App that secretly allows you to connect you laptop to your phone to access your phone's wireless connection. Internet services providers would charge a fee for this but with this App in the US, AT&T would get nothing. This App has tricked it's way past the Apple App Store Reviewers and has made it into iTunes. To enable Tethering though you need to configure the the wireless network to your Mac. Tweak a few settings and your in. Detailed instructions on how to enable tethering are found here. There is also a video on YouTube explaining the process of tethering without a jailbreak or paying a fee.
The only question that remains to be answered is how soon will Apple pull the Handy Light App from the App store.
