The powers that be at TetherBerry have rebranded… In a kinda-sorta big way. They’re now known as ‘Tether’, and a new version of the popular tethering app for BlackBerry is available now in App World.
TetherBerry, uh, sorry, I mean ‘Tether’ lets you tether your BlackBerry to your computer for use as an internet connection. It’s jam-packed full of awesome. But what triggered the re-branding here is the desire to expand to multiple platforms. Sure, TetherBerry was a great name for a BlackBerry tethering app, but when you have plans to expand into the iPhone, Android and Win-Mo worlds, the name doesn’t do you very much good. Testing has already begun on a new Android version of Tether, and I’m expecting we’ll hear more about this (and other versions) in the near future.
Congrats to the folks at Tether, for what is surely a smart move. And hey, if in the end it doesn’t work out, at least they’ve got an awesome domain name 
For more information hit up Tether.com, or pick it up via App World for only $19.99.
