iPhone 3G as Modem

Hi,
Is it possible to use my iPhone 3G as a modem for my Powerbook G4.
I am sometimes away from the city, without Internet access, but I do have it through my iPhone (sometimes 3G, sometimes EDGE).
Is it possible to use it as a Modem in order to surf with the Powerbook? How would you do that?
Thanks;
Julio

At this time I do not believe it is possible.

Awhile back there was an App that allowed tethering. But this has since been removed.

I believe at&t is working on a possible solution to this. But this was many moons ago that it was posted and discussed about around here.

Perhaps are more senior posters would have more info about this for you if there is any updates to be had.

1) This iphone itself does not support tethering. It may in the future, but not now.

2) In the U.S., tethering iphone is a violation of the AT&T data plan.
