Thanks, but rooting the phone (which seems to involve installing an
older OS) is not attractive to me.

I recently updated PDANet (to version 1.14 beta) and it is *much* more
stable than 1.13, which, frankly, was unusable for me. 1.14, so far,
seems to work. I'm using it as I write this and has kept a connection
for 30 minutes (previously I couldn't get 10 minutes without
reconnecting).

So, if you're looking for a free tethering solution without changing
the phone's OS, PDANet seems the way to go. And I much prefer a USB
connection since this method also charges the phone (and, let's face
it, the G1 needs every recharge it can get).

But, really, why didn't Google build this into the OS? It's in the
Windows Mobile box. I know people holding back on Android until this
is resolved.
