I was able to tether my new Palm Pre to my laptop and am using it as I type. The cable Internet that I use at home is down and this is really convenient and fast. I can now serf the net any where I can get a cell signal. It will also pick up available wifi when surfing with just the phone. I is running at 11mbps which is the same as my cable Internet. Best part is the tethering program is a one time $14.99 charge. My Sprint account includes unlimited internet.
