Tethering: PDANet versus Tether(berry)

[riverdees05]

Thanks for all the help. I downloaded the trial version and am using it now. It works good. I will use it for a couple of weeks and if I still am as happy as I am now, will purchase it. We do a lot of traveling and some places still down have free wifi, so it should easly pay for itself in no time.

How safe is it to do credit card purchases, banking, etc. with a Tehered computer?

As long as you're using an encrypted channel (https) then you'll be OK.

when you consider you can get a wifi card/air card for over $60 a month...the one time $20 fee start to look pretty good, no?

When you buy PDA Net, do you buy it for the Droid or do you buy it for the computer? I am looking to use it on two computers at different times.

We were in San Diego last week and the wifi was very bad so used PDA Net many times during our stay.

Not sure what the licensing is. E-mail the Dev and ask. I think it's for the PC, but I'm not sure.

According to the PdaNet site:
"One license covers one phone (you can reuse the license if you switch to a new Android phone). There is no limit on the computer side."

Hope that answers your question.

It's currently on sale for 18.95 for the andrioid. Great progarm well worth the price. I bought it for windows mobile long before the droid was ever around.
