I have written a tutorial on how to tether your iPhone last year to be able to share your internet connection with other devices. The article was a quick rundown of two applications (TetherMe and MyWi) that you can use although I have never gone deeper enough.
I was able to get hold of a new Verizon iPhone 4 which comes with a built-in app (Personal Hotspot) you can use to share your internet connection. Basically, Personal Hotspot will turn your iPhone into a router that will share your iPhone’s internet connection with your other devices within range. With this app, it is almost painless to tether as you don’t have to install new apps nor jailbreak your iPhone. Here’s how you do it:

Since the release of iOS 3.0 up to the latest iOS, iPhone, iPad and iPod owners would be able to purchases subscriptions or any extra contents within an application; this is what in-app purchase means. More often, there are built-in links within an app and these are the most common media to where these purchases happen.
