New tethering app slips into App Store [u]

Function buried within file management title
(Updated for app's removal) Another iPhone app allowing unofficial tethering has slipped into the App Store. Called QuasiDisk, the title is mainly a file manager, enabling local and remote transfer. A January 28th update, though, is said to have quietly enabled tethering using a proxy. As of this writing, QuasiDisk is still on sale for $2.
Similar apps have become popular with people wanting to circumvent the extra fees carriers impose on tethering functions. This software is strictly against the App Store's terms of service, though, and Apple is normally quick to pull violators. QuasiDisk is likely still on sale only because tethering support is secondary and unadvertised.
Update: Apple has now removed the title from the App Store.
