Palm have cautioned the developer forum over at Pre Dev Wiki for the talk of tethering over on their site. Although interestingly there seems to be an amiable dialog going on between Palm and the developer forum suggesting they do not see it as a bad thing necessarily.

Pre Dev Wiki posted the following message:

We have been politely cautioned by Palm that any discussion of tethering during the Sprint exclusivity period (and perhaps beyond—we don’t know yet) will probably cause Sprint to complain to Palm, and if that happened then Palm would be forced to react against the people running the IRC channel and this wiki.

We want to retain a good relationship with Palm, hence we are not allowing discussion of tethering on the IRC channel, or in this wiki.

Note that Sprint does not have a plan available for use with the Pre which allows tethering under the Terms Of Service.

Once there is a version of the Pre available for a carrier that does allow tethering, or an unlocked GSM version, then we may be able to change this policy.

We’ll have to wait and see if Sprint ever go back to their plans of tethering suggested on the pic above that changed back in February.
