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.)

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

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.
