On pdanet websites they now support mac and have instructions to tether usb. Download PdaNet for Android 2.15 Mac OS destop client.
I think your probably loading more graphics or the content could be different when loading on the computer. I am not sure why yours is doing this but. I booted XP up under bootcamp and installed the PdaNet Desktop to allow tethering via the USB cable and guys it is awesome on the 3G!!! Not only was it faster, the data rates then on the OSX side, it did not heat up the phone nearly as much. I downloaded 183 MB of windows update files in 22 min while charging the battery the WHOLE time!!!!
My battery went from 83% to 96% the time I was tethered via the USB cable and downloading 183 MB!!! God I hope they release a cable solution on the OSX side. It really is the answer. Little side not for Tmobile Germany Customers. You can just get a clone of your sim card for nabout 30 one time charge) and then get any 3g data Usb stick (web and walk stick) and you can surf using your iPhone data plan, without any monthly charge!!! (thats what I did!
) Also PdaNet is good if you forgott your data card. But it won'T work with SSL, i do allot of mobile banking. So that doesent work for me! Its still cool to trick some teachers ( I also modded my 3g Stick to look like a Usb-Data stick). Click to expand.Tethering has been available for a long while now. PdaNet on the iPhone has not, but I was tethering over a year ago on the first generation.
I honestly use it mostly for minor downloading, and in places where I can't get wifi. Works excellent. Not the ideal solution for major downloading but believe me the cap of 5 GB a month is on those who pay the extra $60.00 for a net card. I'm sure as heck not going to pay $30.00 bucks a month extra for a tethering solution through iTunes if AT&T comes out with a plan.
It's not going to be free that's fire sure.
