It looks like PDAnet might be about to find itself a few new friends, with the version 3.0 update of third-party mobile web tethering app now letting users “hide tether usage” from angry mobile network admins.

There’s no information as to how it does this on the app’s rather quaint old web site, so we’ll just have to trust it that this is indeed the case.

The Android app is free on the Android market – plus you’ll need the desktop app (Windows only) on the PC you’d like to connect to the web via your phone. And as before, the free version of the app will restrict access to “secure” web sites that use HTTPS connections. To encourage frequent users to buy the full version.
