Apple Falls for a Little Trickeration in the App Store

"Oh, Nick Lee, you clever boy you. See, Nick here tricked Apple with a very simple iPhone application: Handy Light. On the surface it looked just like any other $0.99 flashlight application. But, secretly, it was a lot more useful."

A lot more useful indeed! What it did was allow you to tether your iPhone with some masterfully hidden code so you could use your iPhone as a 3G modem. But alas, word got out and it was pulled. The good thing is if you still have it you can still use it. I wish I would have known about this one sooner. Did any of you get this handy app, fittingly called Handy Light, before it was pulled?
