  I wonder if it's possible to write an open source hotspot app and then just deploy it to your own phone via developer signing. It's $100/year but I'd think there's a fair intersection between those who'd use a tethering app and those who are already developers and there's no risk of bricking.

    Last time I checked, MyWi had to use MobileSubstrate extensions, which inject code into running processes. Obviously, a legitimate app can't do that, so it may not be possible.

    Although it certainly isn't the same as MyWi, iProxy sets up a SOCKS proxy through which you can send your web traffic: http://wiki.github.com/tcurdt/iProxy/ http://wiki.github.com/tcurdt/iProxy/

    There is very little risk of bricking in general--you can restore even from DFU mode.

    If you wouldn't otherwise sign up for the developer program, you'd probably be better off just getting a mifi-like device. In the UK you can pay as little as £5/month for airtime and around £50 for the device. More flexible and less confusing, too.

  You can also edit the carrier plist to enable the native USB/Bluetooth tethering for your computer. http://www.appfaction.com/blog/2010/08/how-to-native-tether-an-iphone-4-0-3gs-3g/ http://www.appfaction.com/blog/2010/08/how-to-native-tether-...
