Want to carry your family tree with you?
Synium Software, the developer of a genealogy app called MacFamilyTree, has announced a mobile companion for their Mac product.

Once you’re back at your Mac, MobileFamilyTree syncs your changes with MacFamilyTree.
Breaking News: NullRiver’s iPhone App is Available in App Store again
I had just posted that NullRiver’s iPhone App – NetShare briefly brought 3G/EDGE Tethering for iPhone only to be pulled down from the App Store after being available for 20 minutes. NetShare basically turns your iPhone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, thus enabling your laptop or any Wi-Fi enabled device to surf the internet using your iPhone’s data connection. iPhone Hacks readers, Moy and Mike, tipped us in the comments that NetShare has reappeared in App Store (thanks guys). Mac Rumors confirms this breaking news here. More details including the download link available after the jump.
NullRiver’s iPhone App – NetShare briefly brought 3G/EDGE Tethering for iPhone
One of the features missing from the first generation iPhone and the new iPhone 3G is the ability to tether the iPhone to feed a data connection to your computer to surf the internet. It would have been a treat if it was possible on iPhone 3G. That was all about to change when Nullriver’s Netshare application hit the AppStore, only to be pulled down after being available for 20 minutes.

It’s a week of superlatives for Apple content providers!
Tapulous announced that their free game for iPhone 2.0 / iPod touch, Tap Tap Revenge (click opens iTunes) should reach the one million download mark sometime this weekend. Tap Tap Revenge joins Facebook in the million-download club, with Facebook being the first app to reach these lofty heights last week. A visit to the Tapulous website shows a counter ticking off the downloads (less than five thousand to go as of 10:42 AM ET today).
What happened to NetShare?
Filed under: iPhone, App Store
It was there. And now it’s… gone. What happened to iPhone 3G tethering app NetShare?
For a while it was live on the App Store, for a meagre ten bucks. Then it vanished. And now, it seems to have vanished from Nullriver’s web site, too. Their news page has no mention of NetShare.
