The app you are referring to is 3G Unrestrictor , which is a JB app. Right... because Skype / Slingbox are useful as Wifi-only apps. However, you are technically correct. You win the Big Daikon Prize. Good work.

iPhone app developers are usually not "small start-ups". Some aren't, no. It depends on which country you're talking about too. I've spoken to loads of them in Japan and China though, the biggest of which has about 10 employees. None of the ones I've spoken to have been around as a firm for more than a decade.

If you own it, you may do as you please with it.

I don't think Britney has any iPhone Apps. I don't care enough to search, mind. I'm genuinely interested though. Is it possible to 'torrent' iPhone Apps? Good iPhone Apps cost a fair bit of money and time to develop though, so...

Is tethering actually worth it? I mean, what kind of connection speed do you get over 3G? Judging from the time it takes for the iphone to load regular pages I would imagine it to be pretty low. Or is this more a limitation of the processing speed of the iphone itself?
