Think twice before tethering that iPhone

AT&T won't let you tether your iPhone to a PC for on-the-go broadband until later this summer, yet a series of do-it-yourself tutorials have already sprung up on the Web. But before you go downloading HD movies over your makeshift tethered iPhone connection, take heed.

Of course, the ability to share your iPhone's data connection with your PC over USB or Bluetooth is one of the most-anticipated features of iPhone Software 3.0, but AT&T has (infamously) announced that it won't have an official tethering plan until later this summer.

Meanwhile, iPhone Software 3.0 arrived only yesterday—an eternity in the blogosphere, of course, leaving enterprising hackers plenty of time to develop a simple download that'll enable PC tethering on your iPhone without AT&T's help (or permission).
