    I have a Sprint Phone. It has the capability of "phone as modem" for Internet, so yu can hook it up to your PC and get Internet anywhere. You can use a USB data cable or Bluetooth. I have seen Bluetooth adapters for iPod. Now, can I connect my iPod thru the blutooth to my phone and use the Internet off it? I know there is a program you must download on your pc to use it, but will it work withot it? And will my iPod be able to use the Internet over Bluetooth? Thanks in advance.

    The iPod doesn't have a tethering program. It won't know what to do with the data.

    hmm, I figured that. Is it possible that there is a tetherng program that can be downloaded under jailbreak? Oh well, I figured it wasnyt possible.

    BTW, I would have got iphone, but only at&t at the time and I didnt want to jailbreak.

    If you'd read the OP, you'd see that he said was going to use an adapter.
