Tether is today’s Deal of the Day in the BlackBerryCool Store. Personally, I think the tethering process is still complicated for the average BlackBerry user and this software really helps, but if you’re somewhat computer savvy you can do it yourself without paying. If you’re looking for a simple tether solution, it’s now $24.98, 50% off.
TetherBerry, which has been installed on over 60,000 BlackBerries in the past 9 months, will be re-branding to Tether. The app will soon be available in App World, and will come with the ability to tether over Bluetooth. It’s awesome of RIM to allow these types of applications in their store while AT&T and Apple are adamant about blocking them.
In celebration of the rebranding, Tether is 50% off until January 10th.
On a side note, if you’re an Android user, or know one, they’re accepting beta testers.
EasyTether is the simplest way to tether your BlackBerry to your Mac via Bluetooth. All you have to do is follow some basic setup procedures and run the application. Once your device and computer are connected, you can use your BlackBerry data plan to get Internet access.
Setting Up:
On BlackBerry:
On Mac:
You will only have to do this setup the first time. The company also has a caveat that due to limitations in Bluetooth stack on BlackBerry, the first attempt to connect will often fail. Just ignore the error message and re-connect.
EasyTether is available for the special price of $4.95 until August 16th.
TetherBerry recently sent out an email to their private Mac beta testers with the final version of their Mac beta. According to the developers, “this will be our last beta release before our Mac official release, unless any major bugs are found.”
The most recent update works on Tiger, Leopard, G4s and a number of bugs have been resolved. If you haven’t tried the beta, it still takes some finagling but it does work.
For now, you can purchase the PC version of TetherBerry for $10 off until August 12th.
TetherBerry is an app that everybody wants, but is still in its beta phase. The company has surely been getting a ton of user feedback and support questions, due to the complex nature of tethering.
They have been working hard over the past couple of weeks to make their Mac beta more stable and thanks to your feedback, they have released a new updated version. Unfortunately, this version is still only compatible with Mac OS X Leopard, but the next step is making it available for Tiger.
