If you’re using an Android phone – you’re paying $30 per month already for wireless data. Doesn’t it seems silly to pay again to connect your laptop on those infrequent occasions that you need a little remote bandwidth. If you have limited needs for remotely connecting your laptop check out PDANET in the Android Marketplace. It will allow you to tether your Android phone (NO root required) via cable or Bluetooth. Why let all that bandwidth go to waste when you could share it with your laptop. Most cellular companies frown on this practice – and it may even be against your terms of service – so tread lightly with the usage (even if it is practically undetectable). For a limited time score your own copy for $18.95 (normally $29 or $23).

When I was buying my Verizon Droid the guy next to me asked the salesperson if tethering was allowed on the device. He was promptly informed that Verizon doesn’t have a plan for that yet but when it happens it will be an extra cost fee.  I wanted to tell him that while the salesperson was technically correct that Verizon doesn’t allow (condone) tethering that there in fact is a solution available right now. The program is PDANET and it’s in the Android Market for free download.

PdaNet provides you with FULL Internet access so all your email, instant message programs will work without any setting changes. Supports both USB Tether and Bluetooth DUN.

PdaNet does NOT require root access or hacking your phone’s firmware in order to work. It is just a regular Android application that works on all Android phones as-is. Tethering is fast, secure and USB mode will also charge your phone at the same time. Your phone can either connect to 3G data, WiFi, or even through VPN and PdaNet will share the connection with your computer.
