Tether announced today that its landmark application, which allows laptop-users
high-speed, affordable Internet access via their smartphones, is now available at BlackBerry® App World.
The announcement comes as the company, founded in March 2009 as TetherBerry, changes its main product brand name to reflect its intention to expand into new market segments, including Windows Mobile, iPhone and Android.
“More than 60,000 customers in 114 countries use Tether to connect their laptops to their smartphones, ensuring a fast and affordable tethering option anywhere they have cellphone coverage,” said Tim Burke, Tether’s Director of Development. “Now that we’re available at AppWorld, it will be easier than ever for BlackBerry users to access our service.”
As well as recently releasing a simpler user interface, Tether has now begun beta testing its Android version and has launched a new version of Tether that uses USB and Bluetooth.
TetherBerry was launched in March, 2009, as a means of allowing people fast, affordable Internet access almost anywhere by letting them work on their laptop via their BlackBerry’s data plan. Within days, the product was selling around the world, drawing praise from such tech blogs as the New York Times’ Gadgetwise and CrackBerry.
Tether. Great Idea
I waited, and waited and refused to connect my land line back up just to have internet service.
Finally, It happen with Tether. No land lines, no land line phone bill.
I get just about everything I need right here with Thether. Now just need to figure out how to use Netflex with it. LOL
I'll wait for that great idea next.
Just purchased tether for my son, so he would leave my phone alone.
Thanks
Thanks buddy!

Android and Blackberry Spy Software
Tether allows you to connect
Tether allows you to connect your PC / MAC to connect to Internet using the data plan on your BB.
Further there should not be issue in access to internet by any program on your. As any program can use the phone internet. However you can seek more assistance from "mobistealth spy software" support.
Ordering
I used the trial version and then tried to buy a licence, Filled int he online order form, with my CREDIT CARD and I haven't received any email or licence key and I can't get any response from support so far. I am very frustrated with the ordering. Can't find a phone number to call anyone and I think my card is giong to be charged twice for it and I can't get someone to call me to stop it.
P.S. Trial version worked great though.....too bad ordering is such a hassle. I am in an I.T. Department and hoped to deploy to all our Blackberries......

Connect OK but unable to brouse, browser will not open
Dear Tether,
I singed up for a trial account, downloaded the software on bioth devices and made connecting perfectly.
But the web page will not open, error message states, unable to find the server,chech firewall sttings or contact network provider. As a result I am unable to brouse or surf the internet using your service.
Kindly say what might be the problem and how to rectify same.
my connection speed is saying 100 mb or something to that effect.
I also have think that for the price one has to pay for the software, there should be a live customer service line or a much personal response to customer's concerns.
Thanks
