Tethering App Sneaks into iPhone App Store

Get it while it’s hot, because this sneaky tethering iPhone app is certain to be yanked out of the App Store  very, very soon.

A new app, Handy Light, seems harmless enough: it turns your iPhone into a flashlight with 5 different color settings. On the surface, it’s just a simple $0.99 app.

Under the hood though, the app is actually a SOCKS Proxy tethering app, capable of turning your iPhone into an Internet tethering device. It takes a few minutes to set up, but after you’ve followed the instructions in the YouTube  video above, you will be tethering like a pro without having to pay AT&T any monthly fees.

Of course, Apple and AT&T might not be too thrilled with you. In any case, we’re pretty sure that this app is going to be out of the app store momentarily.
