HiT Barcelona: Coming in!
Well folks, here I am at the HiT Barcelona – World Innovation Summit event at Fira de Barcelona.

iPhone Tethering is a Go, Just not for AT&T… yet
iPhone tethering got the green light at WWDC today, but with a big fat disclaimer: “subject to carrier approval”. They showed some of the carriers who would be supporting the feature, such as Rogers, butAT&T was not on the list. This is a huge blow to the iPhone’s biggest market, but it seems likely that…
