    Anyone know if there is a successor to Tricker 3G? Or anything to allow use of Slingplayer over 3G? #iphonemms

    So, keep an eye out so you're not shafted at the end of the month.


    i figured that was just a given. No?


    anyway, cool way to tether. i guess it don't get much easier than that.


    when is the new blueteef 3.0 coming to phones? then tethering will be awesome.

    In reply to iPhone Beta 5 Odds and Ends: No More MMS, Better YouTube?
    Can someone please agree with me that out of all the fancy stuff that we all always say we want on our iPhones, and all of the poll questions on giz about what new feature we want the most, and how everyone wants MMS and that stuff. The thing that I want the most is a button to STOP SENDING A TEXT MESSAGE once It has started to send. I usually hit send on accident while trying to type a "P" and then the message is sent incomplete. Or I send it with stupid misspellings / wrong words that have been autocorrected and I didn't notice till after I hit send. Or I send it to the wrong person because the splash screen came up displaying a text, and I quickly unlocked my phone, and replied to the message I saw while not noticing that the phone had opened to someone else's text message. In my old phone I could simply take the battery out and that was that. now there is no way to stop it from sending aside from running to somewhere that has no reception. and the only time I get no reception is when I WANT a message to go through. When I want it to stop, there is always reception...


    That is the feature that I want the most in 3.0.

    @whatachiouche: I don't think I've ever wanted that feature. I think I might have accidentally fired off one unfinished text, ever. Maybe you just need to be a more accurate typist?

    Charging for functionality that should simply be a feature while capping your usage is the work of utter douchebaggary.

    $30 a month so I can enjoy AT&T's crappy 3G service? While I hope that AT&T would take some of the proceeds and invest in better 3G service in NYC, I doubt that will happen. Accordingly, I'm passing.

    $30 a month? Talk about price gouging... And a 5gb cap to boot? Forget it!


    I was lucky enough to grab the Netshare app while it was on the app store. I'll stick with that since it won't cost me anything else. I only need it in emergencies when I'm on call and out of range of wifi. I would never be able to justify $30/month to my company for this.

    @IphtashuFitz: I must agree that jailbreaking is scary for a lot of iphone owners because of the warranty concerns. It's not easy to ask someone to replace a $600 phone if it breaks because the warranty won't be honored. But I must say, I jailbroke a few weeks ago and I can't believe what this phone can do. It's like needing glasses for 20 years and never knowing it and then getting them. Jailbreaking your phone will actually make you see red about Apple's restrictions on this very close to perfect piece of hardware. You have no idea how limited the phone is by its proprietary software. No idea.

    @tatiana.noel: What are the specific things that you are now able to do thanks to jailbreaking that make it seem like you suddenly got glasses after 20 years of blurry vision? Seriously, I have a factory iPhone, what are the things that are that compelling that would make me want to jailbreak?

    So this is $30 on top of the data plan? That's crazy. But $30 cheaper than a separate air card.

    @dangj307: Remove iPhone 3G data plan ($30), add a separate air card/plan ($60), and you pay the same amount as if you have an iPhone data plan + $30 tethering fee.

    Strange. I have an original iPhone and have had the option to remove the $20/mo data plan. I even deleted for a weekend 9 months ago to try it out but went back.

    @carsly: I can attest to the fact that the CSRs are telling people they may not remove their $30 data plans. I was told that very same thing the night before last when inquiring as to an erroneous ETF.


    What they allow in terms of 1G iPhones may be a different story. Who knows?

    For anyone who truly uses their iPhone to tether, why not simply jailbreak? No extra data charges, unlimited data.


    Much better option if you ask me.

    @RobLikesbrunch: Absolutely.

    I was about to say the same here.


    Although, to play the devil's advocate- with the jail breaking, if they should see your data usage spike,

    they can cancel your contract as it violates the TOA.


    Which leaves with an iPhone permanently stuck in airplane more (Sans 911 calls)- Unless you open a new account (im not sure if they would let you do this.)

    meh, just don't run torrents off it. websites on the iphone are the same size as they are on a conventional computer, so unless you're downloading large (20mb+) files regularly I wouldn't worry about it.
