BlackBerry 8700 tethering for Macs bounty
Fellow blogger Alex King is a man with a problem; like most bloggers he knows that the best way to deal with it is to appeal to the blogosphere. Mr. King is looking for a way to tether an 8700 BlackBerry to his Mac and has decided to put a bounty on it for anyone brave enough to attempt a solution. All told, the bounty is sitting at a nice round sum of 250 USD. If you’re interested in helping out or (more likely) in using the solution yourself, go here.
But remember: the bounty is still good if you tether that BlackBerry dead or alive.

[...] This comes by way of friend and fellow blogger Alex King. You may remember that Alex organized the bounty for a “BlackBerry as a modem” solution for Mac OS X. This bounty resulted in the product Pulse, which turns your BlackBerry into a Bluetooth modem for both Macs and PCs. [...]
