For a little while on Thursday night, Apple made download-able what could have been the most popular iPhone App on their App Store. A program from NullRiver called Netshare. Unfortunately however this application was taken down as Apple realised that this program could create quiet a large headache for Mobile Networks everywhere.

Netshare gave iPhone & iTouch users the ability to share their EDGE or 3G Internet connection with their computer. This would have allowed laptop users to access the Internet and its full functionality anywhere, anytime.

Never fear though, their is hope. If your iPhone is jailbroken have a look around the internet. Their is other methods out there of achieving the same functionality.

EDIT 1#: It seems Netshare is back on the App Store, at least my Australian App store anyway. So, Check it out, give it a go and let us know what you think!

EDIT 2#: Apple’s decided to take Netshare back off the App Store, sorry all!

Yes, Telstra will begin selling the iPhone 3G on July 11, joining both Optus and Vodafone. Telstra is the first of the three to reveal any Australian pricing for the iPhone. While there’s no full details yet, Telstra has given us more information than we’ve seen from anyone else.

On a 24-month contract from $30, the 8G iPhone will be available for an upfront cost of $279, or $399 for the 16GB version. On plans above $80 a month, there’s no upfront charge for the phones. Still $80 a month means that you’ll be paying $2000 over the course of the contract.

Telstra has two obvious starter advantages in the marketplace: the extensive coverage of its Next G network, and the ability to offer free WiFi access in all its hotspots (which include McDonald’s and Starbucks outlets as well as Qantas lounges).

Time will tell how it compares to the other networks pricings…
