PDANet will install -- you just have to do one more step
OK... I had problems with getting PDAnet to install on my computer once I got my new Droid Bionic (I had used PDANet on my laptop with my original Droid and loved it). I kept getting the same problems as some of you indicate above, where the driver for the Motorola Android phones did not seem to work.... it never would finish installing. Finally, in desperation, I tried the steps in the instruction paragraph that says "If your phone is a Motorola Droid X, an extra step is needed for this phone to expose the Android USB Interface. After making sure USB debugging is enabled, with your phone plugged in, go to the notifications list (I looked for awhile, and finally found the notifications list by clicking the left-most button at the bottom of my Bionic), then select USB Mass Storage. ONCE I DID THAT, it worked! I sent a message to JuneFabrics suggesting they add that info for Bionic, not just X.
PDANet is great... just make sure you have an unlimited data plan. A few months ago, I was in a hotel that wanted $34.95 per day for wireless access.... no way! I used my PDANet and saved many $$$. Good grief though, when is Verizon going to stop this nonsense and let us use the features that are built in to our Android phones! Motorola made the phone to do tethering, but Verizon crippled it. Its all about $$$, not customer satisfaction, I guess. But, as long as companies develop software like PDANet, at least we have some options.
