Google removes tethering apps from Market for Sprint phones???

---

Don't know this has been noticed or mentioned before but it looks Sprint may have forced Google's hand & had them remove all of the tethering apps. I just rooted a friend's Evo Shift for him & noticed none of the tether apps were on the Market. Then checked from my phone & got this:

link to the first?

The best versions are available from the Google site host anyway. No real loss here.

I noticed them slowly doing this... Best thing to use is Market Enabler for root users, or download the apk from another site.

Trying to be as helpful as I can.

didn't get either of those messages when i looked for them.

either way, i back up all my apps for this very reason. you never know when one of them won't be available anymore.

i have about 4 different mp3 dl's on my 3d right now... none of which are available on the market anymore. lol

4shared has a app in the markert

Here is your proof:

Barnacle also hosts the APK on their website

Hopefully it means we keep unlimited data on phones for another year or two.
