If you are considering upgrading your iPhone to a newer model, Mike Heller and Chris Pinnock made a video that will help you decide: a no-prisoners speed race between the original Jesusphone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.
I’ve been in a long-term relationship with the iPhone since well before the iPhone 3G launched in 2008. From that very first Jobs keynote, I’ve been captivated by the stunning design and intuitive user interface, the diverse functionality and the convenience of the iPhone. But now, as I approach the end of my 24-month iPhone 3G contract, I’m discovering that the passion has died, and it’s time to move on. iPhone 3G, I think I’m leaving you.
The iPhone 3G is now about two years old, and it’s nearing the end of its lifecycle. The proof? Installing the latest iOS 4 on it causes it to slow to a crawl, and that’s with half of its features missing.
After hacking the first-gen iPhone to run Android, David Wang has uploaded a video proving he can do the same magic trick with the iPhone 3G. What’s the bet he’ll try his hand on the iPhone 3GS next?
We’ve seen videos of iPhone 4.0 Beta being jailbroken, but we thought we’d have to wait for quite a while until the jailbreak tool is released. Well, surprise! It’s already available for iPhone 3G devices.
As picked up by David Flynn at APC, Telstra CEO David Thodey has responded to a comment on the Telstra Exchange blog to announce that the company is “working with Apple to enable tethering on the iPhone”, although he can’t reveal any specific dates. It’s kind of mind blowing that it hasn’t happened already, although I’m sure it’s what happens when you get two companies so focussed on doing things their own way that neither is willing to make the sacrifice necessary to bring this service to their customers.

So this whole GPS app on your phone situation is one big clusterf%*k of confusion, isn’t it? First there was talk that it could be illegal, then it wasn’t, then VicRoads said they were going to make it illegal in Victoria, and now they’re saying that it will be illegal, except if you use it in a cradle. Feel like buying a dedicated satnav yet?
