Nutsie Top 100s by year is pretty cool. Goes back to 1947. Streaming music.

Got it wirelessly tethered. Very excited.

The speeds weren't great. If you do the wired tether with a USB cord, do the speeds improve?

Yes they do... 3g you should get 1-1.5 Mbps. 4g I average 4-7Mbps but have seen up to 12Mbps....

other way around...

Download this to the EVO .. if you're running vista/7/osx then you're good to go

if you're running xp you might need to install something..

see the FAQ for more info http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/wiki/FAQ

Didn't see it in the app store. I keep seeing the codes like you posted, but have no idea how to access those.

Awesome it worked.

However, it says my SD card is busy. I tried accessing the SD card menu in the settings and for the total space it says it's unavailable.

Could the rooting have fried the SD card?

TuneIn is awesome.
