Looks like the free WiFi Tether app is being worked on for DROID support, since we can now root the DROID.

Really hope this releases soon. I read one of the FAQ pages on PDANet that described having to configure an ad-hoc peer-to-peer connection to get wifi through the phone. Is that true, or can you simply enable a hotspot on the phone and use a computer to connect normally like any other hotspot/access point?
If that is true about PDANet, then using WiFi Tether will be so much easier, as the connect process on the computer is the same as when connecting to other wifi hotspots.
Sometimes my Home connection is screwed up some days and the damn DSL sync won't work all day. This would be great when I really need to do something important while my home network is down, or when im on vacation =]
Lets discuss other wifi applications here as well, and their different features. WiFi Tether seems to be the best and easiest to use for connecting via wifi. I'm not sure i it supports USB, so I might need to use PDANet for a USB connection (desktop pc with no wifi card)...
