If you're willing to jailbreak your phone anyhow, it's worth
mentioning that with Android phones there are usually other firmware
options which tend to give you more freedom and features (like wifi
tethering) than the stock firmware.
You're not usually bound to the phone manufacturer or carrier's idea
of what your software must look/behave like.
Of the four people I know with Heros (including myself), I'm the only
one not running Cyanogen Mod.

Re: [BLUG] Simple wish list for Android
As much as I recognize the risk of relying on jail breaks to use tethering with my iPhone, I do appreciate the whole concept of a single OS version that is available for all versions of the iPhone for as long as the hardware is supported (and my second generation iPod Touch ran the latest iOS version, so it seems like Apple is done a fairly good job at supporting older gear). Technically speaking, I believe that the AT&T and Verizon iPhone versions are different right now, but as far as user features and overall experience go the two versions are identical, and if Apple hasn't already done so I'm sure they will consolidate on a single version.
One other rationale I had (flawed or not) was that since I'm not much of a phone person I just wanted something that just worked without having to tinker (please let me know if this assumption on my part was stupid so I'll know for next time :).

Regarding accessing IU secure with an android phone, it works with
only minor tweaking and is documenting here:
http://kb.iu.edu/data/azle.html
I have an LG optimus T running android 2.2, and it connects without
problems to IU secure. The only minor nit is that it doesn't
automatically connect; I have to tell the phone to connect to IU
secure. The phone connects to my home wireless network automatically.

You'll need more local help on that, as I'm in Fort Wayne these days
and had no idea how IU's WiFi system worked, even when I live in
Bloomington.
My problem is that we don't allow Internet access except through our
proxy, which does content filtering and caching.
There does not seem to be a way to set most stock Android images to
use a proxy, including my HTC Hero, the HTC Droid Incredible, and my
new Motorola Xoom.
If you're comfortable rooting and/or re-flashing your device, it seems
there are apps on the market that will do the job and/or most
community versions of Android have the setting available by default.
That's my read of the situation, anyhow.

True to some extent. This is why I kind of hoped a third party apk
would do the trick.
It was my understanding that the Xoom is running vanilla Android 3.0,
though. There's no obviously Motorola software except for the logo
that comes up immediately when you turn it on.

Yeah, that's been my experience.
The free ones I've used either don't seem to work on the devices I
tried them on, which makes me not too enthusiastic about them, or
require root. And I can't expect all my users to have root, or to want
to root their phones.
I also don't want to point them to pay apps for simple functionality I
used to think of as mostly universal.
I mean, I can set up all kinds of other crappy little embedded systems
to work right on our network, any PC you can throw at me, and most
handheld devices (including iOS)...but not my Android phone or tablet.
That just kind of hurts.

There are a couple of applications that will setup a proxy server ASProxy in the market and Transparent Proxy in other places. Unfortunately they require root access on the phone.

Re: [BLUG] Evolution and IU's Exchange servers
Hash: SHA1
I have been using Microsoft Exchange Data Provider with mixed success:
http://gitorious.org/lightning-exchange-provider/pages/Home
There are many caveats: you must use .11 and not .12 or you seem to get
locked out in AD. Your passphrase will not get saved in the password
manager...if you sausage-finger the passphrase, you will get locked out
in AD.
You could also try the davmail gateway, but I have not played with it in
some time...issues with repeating events and ghost events:
http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html
I would love to endorse any of these, but they are NOT READY FOR PUBLIC
USE in IU's Exchange environment. I have put the occasional bug report
in, but other tasks slowed that down for me.
Essentially, you still occasionally need OWA or the Outlook client.
