Well I'm in California today (July 3rd) San Diego, to be exact. 4th of July weekend and with the family. Well I have EDGE service on my iPhone. So how am I doing this blogpost? Well sure there's an app for that! ? No not really, blog posting from the iPhone isn't really my thing.
So how am I. I'm tethering my iPhone's EDGE service to my computer. It's really simple, I am not even joking. The best Part too? It doesn't even require you to Jailbreak your iPhone!!! I have my phone jailbroken but only for ultrasn0w, I try not to run so many JB apps as I like my battery life not to be used by apps in the background.
This tutorial is simple and does work with AT&T 3G service as well. Now for you AT&T people, try not to do so much, if you use it to send some emails, check facebook then your good. But don't go using it to download music, or videos or something. Why? Well because If AT&T sees some heavy 3G usage on your account, well I don't know what the consequences are but I'm sure they may suspend your account or something.
Tethering At the moment is not allowed for AT&T service, BOO! Now with T-Mobile I don't think there should be any consequences because window phones have Internet sharing apps on there as well, so no problem there
If you follow this tutorial and follow it right you should be tethering in no time.
1. Open safari on your phone and go to "help.benm.at"
2. Scroll down to the first "mobileconfigs" and click on it.
3. Select your country
4. Select Carrier (if your doing T-Mobile, do U.S.A > T-Mobile.
5. It will then take you to your settings and on the top right hit install.
6. Reboot your phone
7. Go back into safari and go to the second "mobileconfigs" and enter in your internet settings (for t-mobile it should be either wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com depending on your internet plan)
8. Hit Install
9. Go into Settings>General>Network>Internet Tethering and Turn it on
10. Use USB mode (most common)
11. If your on Vista it should automatically install and set up on your PC and should take 2 minutes at the max!
ENJOY and retweet this please!

planetbeing from the dev-team did a live showing of ultrasn0w on the 3GS, showing you that Cydia works perfectly and that the unlock is succesful. Great news for me as I have T-Mobile. Now I just need to get my hands on a 3GS!

If you are a ultrasn0w user and before you get excited please note that you should not upgrade. Why? 3.1 already comes with ways to stop ultrasn0w just as @musclenerd said it would.
So if your planning on buying a 3GS, do it NOW. 3.1 is sure to fix the holes that the dev-team broke through to unlock the iPhone "3G".
So what comes in the new firmware? The following:
- Video editing now gives you the option to trim your clip then “Save as copy…” rather then writing over and replacing the original clip.
- Voice Control now works over Bluetooth
- The iPhone now vibrates when moving icons
- Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
- Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01 (*this is what will kill ultrasn0w)
- Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz.
- APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them. New tools for the developers
- MMS buttons are back in the Messages app for AT&T customers but still don’t work. I wonder when later this summer is going to be?
- Copy & Paste functions also work in the address book as well as in the numeric keypad of the phone application. Nice little improvement, it did work when you would go into the contact and hit edit to get the number now allows you to highlight the number and copy will come up
- Videos can be saved from e-mail attachments and stored in your photo album.
- Find My iPhone feature, still only for MobileMe users, the audio alert Blasts at full volume regardless of what the ringer volume is set to.
- Does not fix the pitch noise for iPhone 3GS users that were experiencing this problem.
I guess with all these features, that is why it's 3.1, instead of 3.0.1 which probably would've just been made to kill Ultra, as I'm sure is Apple's main concern rather than getting MMS out to it's customers.

I'm sure you all remember George Hotz, aka GeoHot, the one who first unlocked the iPhone(the original one). Well he did it again by unlocking the iPhone 3GS.
Now he did however use redsn0ws code and only changed around 10 lines of it. But still he has created the first jailbreak. So why isn't it released yet? Well I don't want to break anyones heart, but the dev-team is holding off on that. Here the blog post to see for yourself.
So GeoHot has the luxury of having the only jailbroken phone unless planetbeing does too as he just got a nice new 3GS as well, courtesy of all the followers.

The video below shows a guy at the pool recording and loving his new 3GS, when apparently his iPhone 3GS drops in the pool for a little swim. Look what happens
...It still works! I believe all he had was a rubber case, but still nothing had happened to it. As of yesterday 6-28-09 the phone is still in 100% working condition. His warranty is now in-effective but oh well. It might hurt him down the road like this guy who put his iPhone under running tap water.
But please don't go and try this with your lovely 3GS, I'm sure it was just a coincidence. One that should never be done to a iPhone (haha im only joking)

Well all the prayers are answered. GeoHot, the first person to ever create a iPhone unlock, has done some snooping around and has found that the iPhone 3GS is vulnerable to a jailbreak through the same 24kpwn exploit present in the iPod Touch 2G. What does this mean? I'll let him explain, this is from his blog:
With the help of chronic, posixninja, and pod2g, I verified that it is still vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit present in the iPod Touch 2G. This is great news for all of you. Basically, this means if someone makes a tethered jailbreak, it easily becomes untethered, because the boot chain is broken. Expect big things soonGood news for you owners and it only took about a week as well :). Maybe next time Apple

I didnt get one for two reasons. 1 I'm not on AT&T, I'm one of the ones who have to wait till the dev team unlocks the phone like 6 months after it comes out.
2. i dont have the 600-700 dollars for it
I do want it badly, but it's alot. Next year when my contracts up I think I'm gonna make the switch!
But lemme know what you think about the new 3G S?

above is just one of the performance results showing how fast the page loaded up and rendered. The contestants were most of the big smartphones in the market such as the iPhone 3G, the Palm Pre, and the T-Mobile G1
above now is the application launch times, all of these apps are on all of these phones, of course you can see how the iPhone 3G S (Of course), comes in first place without a doubt.
The new 3GS renders web pages 128% faster, on average, than the old iPhone 3G. The 45% clock speed boost alone isn't enough to generate such a large performance increase, this is a new microarchitecture. Also, note that the 3GS' performance mimics that of the Palm Pre - another Cortex A8 based phone.

So AT&T put out a new video on last time because there's been some buzz and a lot of questions about the new iPhone, you know the whole how much is upgrading going to be? and stuff like that. This video answers most of those questions

So a big question i'd say ever since WWDC regarding AT&T and the 3.0 update was is there going to be an extra charge for MMS. AT&T always finds a way but not in this case. If you currently have the text messaging bundle plan for your iPhone. There will be no extra charge for sending Picture Messages. Now though. MMS is not coming until later this summer as we all know by now. But I guess now the question should be when are we going to get this lovely-should've-been-here-a-long-time-ago feature?

The above image is from BGR, and one of their ninjas are reporting that there's a shortage in AT&T's supply for 3G S's!!! OH NOEZ!
Basically if you pre-ordered on Saturday 13th, 2009 and later should know that there iPhone won't be in stock till about 7-14 days after the date it was ordered. Though if you managed to be smart and pre-ordered the 3G S, your phone will still be arrived in time for the 7 A.M. opening on Friday June 19th 2009. The customers will also get an email noification when there phone is available for pick-up.
The document also says that pre-ordering is still the best option as well for a getting a 3G S, as quickly as possible.

We all know by now that the iPhone is going to be faster than both the iPhone 3G and 1st gen iPhone but now the specs have been revealed that the iPhone 3G S will have 600 MHz processor bumped up from a 400 MHz like the iPhone 3G has. The RAM has also been bumped up as well from 128MB to 256MB. This is how the brand new iPhone is faster than the 3G! would be nice if we could replace the pieces in the iPhone 3G with these right?

"So what's new with this iPhone? It looks completely the same as my 3G?" Well thats what I'm here to talk about. The iPhone 3G S, although it looks completely like a 3G is going to have features, that Apple is too greedy about to give to us current 3G owners.We decided to get to the root of the problem by calling up the makers of the chip–Infineon. We contacted an Infineon representative in Milpitas, CA to uncover the details. The gentleman that answered the phone kindly explained that there is no way the Infineon chip inside the original iPhone is incapable of receiving MMS since that function relies on software rather than hardware.I guess apple was dumb enough and now left swirlyMMS in business, since they charge about 12.00, which is still dumb because 3G owners are getting it for free, but still Apple was foolish enough to say that it wasn't capable. The damn hardware was like way ahead of it's time, they said it themselves as well. Steve's on crack!

The people over at iTalkiPhone.com have gotten their hands first on the iPhone 3G S, apparently from the pictures there is a Gold Trim on the side, 3G S gets gold while the 3G will still get silver. since the both are the same I guess that's how they will be distinguished. More info on the forums be sure to go visit and check it out for yourself. Theres more pics at the bottom, click em to make em bigger.
Not a lot going on, I'm sure the you will be getting the same stuff you've been getting in the previous iPhones, headphones, charger, all that jazz.
Enjoy
