NetShare has been officially banned by AppStore. NetShare has updated their website with this information:
Looks like Apple has decided they will not be allowing any tethering applications in the AppStore. As such, NetShare will not be available in the iTunes AppStore. We are seeing a lot of similar reports from various developers who’s applications were abruptly removed and banned from the AppStore without any violations of the terms of service. This is all unfortunate news for the iPhone platform end-users.
I was expecting AppStore to allow tethering apps in the future. But I guess AT&T doesn’t like this. But users who had downloaded this app when it on AppStore for days can still use it. Lucky you.
NetSharetethering app is back on AppStore. For more on hat NetShare is, please follow this post. Basically NetShare is an iPhone 3G tethering app allowing multiple computers to share 3G connection from iPhone 3G connectivity. I got this update from NullRiver’s message to TUAW:
TUAW had received a reply from NullRiver, as follows: “Hi, NetShare is back on the Apple Store, hopefully for good this time! We’re not quite sure why Apple took down the NetShare application yet, we’ve received no communication from Apple thus far. NetShare did not violate any of the Developer or AppStore agreements to our knowledge. It is unknown how mobile phone carriers may react to using the program. Or if they are even in a position to tell. My personal advice is to not go NUTS just yet by downloading tons. Also be aware that contracts/carriers vary in what they offer from country to country, please be careful your service doesn’t have a metered limit, that if you go over may incur extra costs for you.”
NetShare is the first Tethering Native App for iPhone. With NetShare, one can use iPhone 3G’s 3G connectivity to browse on his laptop wirelessly (tethering).
Share your iPhone’s EDGE or 3G Internet connection with your computer using NetShare. NetShare provides a SOCKS5 proxy for your computer to connect to.
Nullriver, Inc. is the company behind NetShare. This application works by multiple users as well. This would help more than one computer to be connected to iPhone and browse simultaneously.
But there seems to be a problem already. Even though Apple approved this application and added to AppStore, Macrumor has just revealed that this app has been removed from AppStore. Here is what Macrumor had to say:
The application appears to have gone missing from the App Store. While the application listing still appears, if you try to purchase it now, iTunes says “The item you tried to buy is no longer available”.
Hi, I have been using this awesome invention called the Apple iPhone from November 2007 and have gone nutzzz over it. Nuts to an extent that I started this blog which talks just about iPhone and nothing else.
This blog of mine has been getting tremendous response and is being followed by all kinds of mobile phone users from all over the globe. Most of the traffic comes from the US and Europe. Thank you all for making this blog a success :)
