TetherBerry is a new App that allows you to tether your laptop via your blackberry and connect to the internet using your unlimited data plan. It is available for beta test and has been getting an overwhelmingly good response from current testers over at the CrackBerry Forums. I have not had a chance to test it as of yet, but I will be installing it later today and will run a thorough test through this weekend. I will post my findings on Monday. I am hopeful my experience will be as good as previous testers!
Here is the info direct from the developers website:
Have you ever been stuck in an airport, hotel room or coffee shop with no Internet? TetherBerry allows you to access the Internet on your laptop through your BlackBerry's data plan anywhere there is cellular coverage. It's simple to install, easy to use and it works practically anywhere.
- Internet Anywhere: You can use TetherBerry anywhere you can make phone calls.
- Easy Setup: Download our software to your BlackBerry and another for your laptop... Then surf the web and email just like you would with any Internet connection.
- Fast Speeds: Download speeds that are impressive. Our users download at speeds up to 1,100 kbps.
- No Tethering Fees: TetherBerry uses your phone's data plan, so you will not see tethering fees. *
If this works as advertised it will be one of my "must have" apps.
