The WMWifiRouter app for Windows Mobile is a tool which turns a PDA into a router.

The PDA is connected to 3G and a laptop is connected to the PDA via Wifi.
This way you can connect a laptop to 3G without any modem or tethering.

I'm using WMWifiRouter for 1-2 years now and it's running really fine.

Now I'm looking for a similar tool for my new iPhone 3GS (still waiting, not delivered yet).

Any hints?

The only way I've done something similar was to

1) jailbreak my iphone
2) make an ad-hoc wifi connection on my computer
3) connect the iphone to the ad-hoc connection, assign it an IP
4) set my computer to SSH tunnel through the iphone's IP

I'm hoping someone comes out with a simpler solution.

Thanks, and yes, sounds a bit complicated.

Anyway, what can you run through the SSH tunnel?

Currently, using the WMWifiRouter, I can run any application, like
mails, surfing, SSH/SFTP, Skype, etc.

Well, with iptables I can run everything through it, but usually I just started a tunnel and pointed my web browser at it.
