Who has rooted their phone for the wifi tether feature?
how good or bad does it work?

Im thinking of getting a tablet, so I will use my phone as a hotspot. Supposedly the app Barnacle can be used for that purpose. Would you reccommend rooting for this or not?

Yes, I would recommend rooting for that feature alone. FYI, I do not tether all that often;)
 
I have rooted and use the app wireless tether.
Has come in Very Handy a few times at work....saved the day!

Warning though....it will drain you battery....quickly....and get you phone Muy Caliente
 
Is there any way to use this tethering for the Samsumng captivate/galazy S? My phone is rooted, but there are so many aps in the market that say wireless tether, I am not sure which one is the "right" one. I would love to be able to hook up my lap top here at work and get at least an open source so I can chekc my email. Anyhelp, that would be awesome!

I would DL it from here android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code. It's where I got mine from, and it has worked flawlessly for me when I've needed it to.
