iPhone/iPod Touch Thread

3 have announced they are also in on the iPhone 4! Woo!

That is very good news. They're a top notch provider in terms of coverage and 3G availability.

iOS 4 is very nice on my 3G. Folders are what I've been waiting for all along, this alone makes it worth it. Everything on my phone is on 3 screens. I have a 'Utilities' folder in my dock with the App Store, Clock and a bunch of other stuff I can pull up at any time. Wonderful.

What's lame is they've crippled background images amongst numerous other stuff that really could work fine on the 3G. It's apparently easy to enable much of this on a jailbroken phone, but I see no point as I'll be getting me a iPhone 4 soon.

Ditto, iOS4 running nicely on my 3GS but already seriously considering going back to 3.1.3 as I've got a late-bootrom 3GS which can only be jailbroken with Spirit at the moment. Just can't live without Scrobbl and SBSettings (even though most of SBSettings doesn't currently work on iOS4. I'm sure there'll be an update soon).

Here's hoping the pwnagetool guys get the late-bootrom devices hacked or another userland vulnerability shows up for iOS4...

Still (im)patiently waiting for MyWi to be updated. Hopefully by the time iOS4 is out officially they'll get around to it. Now that I have a 3 SIM, it's not so blatantly against Ts&Cs as it was on O2 (I don't think it is at all, even their cheap skype phones can be used as a modem) and it makes more sense than carrying a separate MiFi around.

Not cheap

Today, Apple announced that iPhone 4's can be purchased through Apple's online UK store. It is available for £499 and £599 for unlocked versions of the respective models. This will make it easier on the user to choose from the baggillion (6, possibly 7 soon) UK carriers available. Special pricing like in the U.S. is also available per carriers terms, and we think most people will opt for this.

Hey, it's not like "iOS 4.0 GM Build 8A293" is particularly hard to find online

You'll have to snag some "iTunes 9.2 beta" as well to install it, though...

[Deckard]

Does the OS run any faster on your 3gs ? I presume you can jailbreak it ?

[WiteWulf]

Speed is faster in some respects, slower in others. Overall uxp is good, though.

I can't jailbreak, unfortunately, as mine is a new boot-rom model and pwnagetool won't work with it. If you've used pwnagetool in the past on your device, tho, you're golden with iOS4. Of course with a major OS revision there are a lot of Cydia apps that don't work, particularly SBSettings. Having said that, I can't get Canabalt to run on mine, either!

Apparently there's another userland exploit in iOS4 that's going to be used in a Spirit-style jailbreak sometime soon so I should be jailbroken again shortly.

It will be the first iPhone I have not had on day of launch as at Glasto (lounging about with a VIP ticket no less)

Now who's the showoff? :-) (White ones aren't available day one anyway from what I've read)

[Deckard]

Aye youre right and I want a white one as the black ones are fingerprint central (as is the iPad)
