I added the 1.5 version of My Tether to my Pre over the weekend. As long as you hve root access, it takes about 30 seconds to install. One siple commant will download and install the app as well as a service that is required for it to work. Have not tried the usb or Bluetooth tether yet but the Wifi network worked great. It's like having a Mifi without buying one. Might have to look into 2.0 as I've read it adds WEP and/or WAP encryption.

Do you think you could help me install this to my phone? I am afraid of breaking it, but if I had detailed instructions, I wouldn't be so nervous. I also have a mac, would that make a difference? Thank you.

I have not rooted on a Mac so can't help you there...but this should http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux Once you have gained root access you will see: root@castle:/# If you see that then you are in and all you need to do is paste this command: wget -qO- http://mytether.net/install.php | /bin/sh That will download and install the app. Rest the phone and run the app which is very user friendly. You may want to look in to the newer version 2.0 and just pay the $10 becasue it looks like it includes an installer and will make is a lot easier for you. The link I posted has all kinds of good info as well as patches/tweeks for the phone as well. I have been reading up this this for about a month becasue I had no previous knowledge of Linux. Also if you did happen to mess up the phone Plam offers WebOS Dorctor that will restore the phone to factory settings.

I didn't realize the Pre had a linux based OS.

I recently got a Palm Pre Plus. Last night I tried to install the My Tether app. Everything went fine. The network shows up on my Ipod touch and I'm getting a strong signal. The porblem is that my Pre Plus does not acknowledge that teh Ipod is connected although the Ipod show that it has logged on. I am unable to access the web on my Ipod. Could it be that because the Pre Plus on Verizon already has a mobile hotspot app already installed? I also noticed that when I try to use the factory installed hotspot app it now no longer works. Do I need to delete the factory version to get my tether to work on my Verizon Pre plus?
