Keep writing apps all you coders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash and voice search,,,comeon!!!

Actually, there is FULL, REAL tethering now available and working on the G1.

You can set up your phone to act as an actual WiFi access point. You just connect to it via your computer. Works like a champ.

However, you must have your G1 rooted, at this time.
