Instead, they usually offer their own tethering option for a monthly fee. As a result, there's a market for 3rd party options like the one's mentioned here.</p> </div>

Why is this necessary? If you’ve already got Bluetooth on your laptop and phone why not just use the modem profile? Sorry if I’m missing something obvious.

This is also the only solution available to USB tether to Mac OSX from a Windows Mobile device. Unfortunately it is not compatible with Leopard.
Is there another solution available that I am not aware of?

It’s good to have other sources, but I can testify, after years using PDANet on a variety of Palm devices, it’s works great. My wife has used it up in a little mountain cabin with no telephone to connect with her office. When all else failed, we had internet on the Sprint system using PDANet.
