Re: Tethering on the Arrive?

I completely agree with your opinion that the Arrive is awesome, speaking from experience as a tp1, tp2 and now Arrive owner.

I have yet to load mango too. I could get it direct from my friends at MS, but am holding out for the final release just to keep life simple. I do have the dev tools loaded though, and the enhancements coming in this release really rock.

WIFI access point is the proper way to do tethering, of course, with NO drivers on the PC! Over the wire would be acceptable if power saving is the goal. But the sad reality is, its not the devs that suck here. They get stuck with whatever capability is provided by MS and the carriers. And I can tell you, its mainly the carriers that have to be convinced, as they themselves influence what sort of capability MS exposes - it is ultimately a partnership as the OS is created.
