Is AT&T blocking Easytether and Pdanet from downloading in the Android Market on the Captivate?

I heard they were blocking some tethering apps but am unsure of the specific two you posted. I heard the way to get around that was to disconnect 3g and connect via wifi to the market and download it that way. I haven't tried it for myself yet though

Quite a few carriers block these apps in the marketplace including AT&T

Can't speak for TMo since I haven't had them in awhile, but Sprint is very forgiving and they don't block any apps that I know of. I'm wouldn't be surprised to hear that tethering apps would be blocked though.
