Life is grand: Ubiquitous wireless on your MacBook Air through your iPhone

    You can tether your iPhone for use with pretty much any wireless device relatively* easily with srelay. There's a pretty good guide for putting it all together here:

    Useful in an emergency. It remains to be seen as to whether Apple themselves would make this a feature - I'd imagine AT&T might have something to say about that.

    *For nerds.

    Actually, now that I think about it, TinyProxy from Installer.app would work just as well and should be pretty simple to setup.

    Thanks Jason, I'll give it a go and see how well it works.

    If we can wrap that up in a "Click here to use your iPhone connection" app on Mac OS X then it would be deadly.

    Actually, it would be better if the setup-app was on the iPhone and then any WiFi capable computer would just see it (obviously with security and such.)
