Tether (formally Tetherberry) is having a "share your ideas and vote". For those of you who have used Tether for Blackberry to have laptop internet on the go, could you please navigate to Tether and vote under the Playbook idea? I'd like this community to swamp it out! I'm thinking that when RIM gives us the USB function, this will rock.
Im in i love Tether,its a great app. It has a bluetooth feature for the pc and i hope they include that as well for the playbook. That would be awesome.

BlackBerry Bridge already works. What we really want is WiFi Hotspot tethering for free.
How does this fit with playbook or am I missing something. Tether is to hook your laptop to your phone to get online. A playbook app would only work in the same way if the playbook had 3G/4G etc connectivity.
The vote is to create a client, so you tether playbook to the phone (i.e. use phone's data on playbook). It would be similar to bridge, but as the OP already "i know bridge blah blah", no need to bring that up.
I use Tether, but RIM is never going to let a Tether app see the light of day on the PB. Bridge is one the best selling points for the PB. Allowing Tether would dilute that selling point.

Well, the awkward way around that issue is for Tether to sell the app themselves and inform users how to sideload it. Obviously, not a solution for everyone but it is not that hard to sideload apps and if folks want Tether enough, they can do it.
