My only question is this - if this app can only be installed via Cydia - is there a way, once downloaded to the iPhone, that you can archive the software in the event you ever need to blow away your iPhone and restore to factory settings and if the originaly download repository is yanked?
For example, let's say PDAnet gets pulled from the net somehow and you have to reset your iphone. How would you reinstall PDAnet?

I looked into it some more and posted a quick how-to:
Archiving Cydia installation packages on the iPhone « onlydarksets
You need to install MobileTerminal first, but then login as root ("su root") and do the following:
apt-get install <packagename> -d The files are saved to /var/cache/apt/archives
You can back this file up via SFTP, and install from it using the following commandline:
dpkg -i <package.deb>
Note that <packagename> and <package.deb> will likely be different.
