I believe an App was on the itms quite q while back but, it was pulled after a very short time. I've spoke with people at an ATT retail store. The rep showed me three smart phones (other than the iPhone) that were capable of acting as a modem for a laptop. That leads me to believe that Apple is, for some unknown reason, blocking this. I seem to remember that the next software release will address iPhone as modem. I really don't see what the problem is. If WiFi isn't available, why can't I use phone minutes to be able to connect at 3G cellphone speeds to check something? Although most of it could be done over the iPhone, I bought a 17" MBP and really would rather be viewing on that gorgeous screen.
