Handy Light, a flashlight application for the iPhone, has sneaked tethering functionality into the App Store.

This app called HandyLight appears to be a normal flashlight app, complete with multiple colors. It has a hidden feature, however - it also allows you to wirelessly tether your iPhone, of any model or firmware with or without a jailbreak, to your computer, iPad, iPod, or anything with ad-hoc wifi. Follow the instructions in the video and I'll show you how it works.

You can purchase Handy Light from the App Store for $0.99. It most likely will be removed in short order so you might want to hurry.

Downloaded the app how do I install? iTunes is asking for authorization.

Simple mate! 1. Make sure your iTunes is closed and iPhone not connected to the PC 2. Double-click on the .ipa file in the archive 3. iTunes will start automatically and the app will show up in your iTunes Apps folder 4. Double-click on the App there, iTunes will require authorisation. 5. Authorise using your iTunes account credentials. 6. Sync. That's it!

Can u plz share it with me? All you have to do is find the handylight .ipa file on the computer you sync with. Then put it on a thumb drive or email it or whatever. Then authorize their account.
