Popular BlackBerry application Tether has finally come to Android and we couldn’t be more excited.  Why?  Well, for starters, it doesn’t require Froyo on your handset.  Tether works for all flavors of Android.  Yeah, even you 1.5 folks hanging around!  Secondly, you’re not at the mercy of a carrier unwilling to allow the feature without costly add-on data plans.

The application was officially launched earlier today and it’s currently selling at a discounted rate of .95 until next Friday, November 19th.  At that point, it will go to .99 per copy.  This one-time purchase is a steal when you consider the alternative of – a month or more.
