A few hours ago I posted about the fact you can walk into an Apple store right now and buy an iPhone 3GS without an AT&T contract. As MG Siegler at TechCrunch just pointed out, Apple did exactly the same thing this time last year, and it’s undoubtedly an exercise in making room out the [...]

Got an iPhone 3G or 3GS on AT&T? AT&T has just launched their official MMS support – welcome to 2002!

However, it seems that some lucky T-Mobile UK customers can purchase the iPhone 3G through their carrier, despite the fact that they have no agreement with Apple to [...]

Yesterday I closed my Sprint Mobile Broadband account. Right now, I’m writing this post in a coffee shop in Washington DC. I’m not on wi-fi because I’m tethered to my AT&T 3G Internet connection through my new iPhone 3GS.
This isn’t exactly new, but it just got a lot easier. If you don’t want to do [...]
Daniel Ionescu at PC World wrote about of some of the new “hidden” features iPhone OS 3.0 brings to iPhone and iPod Touch users. Apple’s servers are now running smoothly, so everyone should be able to upgrade and start using these new features right away.
While AT&T is dragging its feet on official tethering support for iPhone customers, that doesn’t mean you can’t do it now with a relatively simple workaround involving a custom carrier settings file.

AT&T will reportedly offer tethering with the new iPhone 3.0 software. What that means is that you will be able to use your iPhone as a modem for your laptop or netbook while you’re on the go.
SlingPlayer Mobile has finally arrived in the App Store, with one fairly major handicap – it won’t stream video over a 3G network. AT&T have cited their terms of service, which prohibits applications that “redirect a TV signal to a personal computer”, as the reason for blocking SlingPlayer’s 3G capability.
