Sure sitting in the airport or riding along in your car and being able to access your email and the internet from your iPhone is great.  But, sometimes its not always that convenient to have such a small screen.  What if you could share your iPhones EDGE connection with your laptop so you could get online no matter where you are.  While it may be a slow connection, it is possible to do so, and with 3G iPhones on the way, it will be a little faster in the near future.

Lifehacker has a great step by step tutorial on how to access the internet from your laptop using the iPhones and AT&Ts EDGE.  What you’ll need in order to get it up and running is a laptop with wifi capable of creating an ad-hoc computer to computer connection, a jailbroken iPhone, the openSSH iPhone app, and an SSH client on your computer.

Head over to Lifehacker for the complete walk through on setting up the connection, as well as links to all of the software that you’ll need.
