I didn’t expect much from games on the iPhone. I had visions of casual games, perhaps a fancy take on solitaire or a version of poker that takes advantage of the handset’s touchscreen. Surely not a true mobile gaming experience. Boy, was I wrong.

Yahoo was quite the chooser last spring when Microsoft offered to buy it — the Yahoo board held out for a higher price. Now it’s looking more and more like the beggar.

AT&T will soon provide an official data tethering solution for iPhone users, the carrier has confirmed. Such a solution will basically let an iPhone owner turn the handset into a modem and then connect to a Mac or PC, allowing the computer to access the Internet via the iPhone’s AT&T cellular data service. “We’re working with Apple on a tethering option for iPhone and we hope to offer it soon,” Wes Warnock, a spokesperson for AT&T Mobility, told MacNewsWorld. “Can’t provide any details beyond that,” he added.
