The folks at Verizon may not be happy to hear that the homebrew apps for webOS are still alive and well. The MyTether app has been updated and it now supports the Pre Plus, which as you know is on the Verizon network. MyTether allows the Pre Plus to serve as a 3G modem that can be shared with other devices over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.
It will set you back a one-time fee of $14.95, which sounds expensive for a homebrew app but it is much cheaper than the monthly Verizon service through the Palm Mobile Hotspot software. I am still having trouble with connection speeds using Mobile Hotspot, so I wonder if MyTether would help in that regard? I also wonder if it will work with the Pixi Plus?
Be aware that Verizon may get in your face about tethering, so consider yourself warned if they figure out you’re tethering without the appropriate data plan.
