If you have a smartphone with a high-speed data connection, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use that connection with your laptop? PdaNet will drive your Windows Mobile Smartphone or PocketPC Phone as a high speed Wireless Modem for your PC.  The process is known as the “jailbreak” . By “tethering” an iPhone 3G to a laptop, users with jailbroken iPhone 3G’s could take full advantage of their high-speed wireless data network on a full-fledged computer.

PdaNet for the iPhone is heads and shoulders above their other offerings in that it doesn’t require any software on your laptop. You simply need to set up an ‘ad hoc’ WiFi network  on your laptop and then have your iPhone join that network. Then, boom, you’re online. PdaNet allows your PC to go online by connecting to your Windows Mobile Smartphone through the ActiveSync cable/dock. If you own a Treo 700w, PPC/XV 6700, Samsung I730 or Motorola Q with any data plan, PdaNet will make it your wireless Internet Service for your laptop/desktop computer instantly – no extra hardware or setup necessary, no need to kill ActiveSync or perform any tricky hacking to your device whatsoever.PDAnet in general is claimed to work flawlessly with Windows, Mac OS X, or any other OS that can connect to a wireless router.
