Anyone looking to use their BlackBerry as a wireless modem for their laptop, but, not wanting to incur a monthly service fee from their carrier, needs to take a look at Tether (formally TetherBerry), as today is the last day of the 60% off re-branding sale.
TetherBerry changed it’s name to Tether for BlackBerry because they will soon offer tethering solutions for mobile devices other than the BlackBerry. Tether for Android will soon go into beta. With the name-change Tether for BlackBerry is on sale for 60% off the regular price of $49.95 and you can pick it up in the RIMarkable App store for just $19.98, but , the sale ends today.

Chances are that if you’ve ever seriously thought about using your BlackBerry as a modem for you laptop you’ve heard of TetherBerry, a great utility that allows you to do so without a monthly subscription from your wireless carrier. Well, TetherBerry has changed their name. They are now known simply as Tether, are holding a 50% off sale until Jan. 11th, and are entering a beta for an Android version of the software.
I have personally used Tether since it first came out and can honestly tell you that it is one heck of a BlackBerry application. All you have to do is install Tether on your PC or Mac laptop, install Tether on your BlackBerry, and connect your laptop to the internet via your BlackBerry device’s wireless connection using your USB cable or Bluetooth at speeds up to 1.8 Mbps.
Tether normally costs $49.95 and is well worth it at this price, however, to commemorate,the rebranding of their name and the launch of the Tether for Android Beta, Tether for BlackBerry is only $24.95, 50% the regular price.

It looks like BlackBerry App World has Tether on sale for $19.99. I am checking with Tether to see if this is an App World exclusive, or, if we could get a 20% discount code or something, but, for now, if you are interested in Tether, check out BlackBerry App World.
