If you have iPhone and travel a lot, you could use your iPhone as an internet wireless modem on a laptop, and laptop has bigger screen and more power for the programs, with 3G internet connection on your iPhone, you may have speed download up to 902kbps (112.8KB/sec transfer rate), and upload up to 215kbps (26.9KB/sec transfer rate), therefore, you can do Skype video conference call, web browsing and viewing web page with Adobe Flash which iPhone browser wouldn't support ...
You'll need the PDAnet application (http://junefabrics.com/) (free to try, full license is $19.99). Unfortunately, Apple has apparently deemed the app to be in conflict with its App Store Terms and Conditions, so it is only available for jailbroken phones via Cydia. Here’s a quick guide:
1) Jailbreak your iPhone.
Download and install QuickPwn, an easy-to-use jailbreaking application for Windows and Mac (the latest version works with iPhone OS 3.1). Run the software and follow the onscreen instruction very carefully!
2) Install PDAnet.
QuickPwn installs an app on your phone called Cydia, which is essentially the App Store for apps that were rejected from the official App Store (or, for whatever reason, the developer chose not to release through Apple). Run Cydia, search for PDAnet and install it. Keep in mind you can only delete Cydia installed apps via Cydia’s Manage-Sources function. Now download and install the Desktop Client app (http://junefabrics.com/desktop) on your laptop and you’re almost ready to go.
It offers the option to use your phone as a modem via adhoc wireless network or just by plugging your phone in to charge with the USB cable. (and since using 3G and wireless consumes a lot of power you will want to do this anyway), PDAnet works for iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Palm platforms.
