...making me get a little restless on OS3.1 here!

Anyone tried it out on a 3G?

Also: does tethering require jailbreak?

No offense dude, but read my posts like a page back and you'll see that I've loaded it on my 3G. Go for it - it's awesome!! But like mentioned in an earlier post - you'll need a Mac with iTunes 9.2 Beta...

Ooops! Thanks dude, I really haven't been following so much as checking in now and then...

Yea... I'm going to have to do it, going to miss jailbreak though - jb only on 3GS AFAIK.

It seems iPhone 3G can be jailbroken on 4.0GM - http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/06/redsn0w-can-jailbreak-ios-40-gm.html

Awesome but seems a little tricky... which is making me consider waiting until it's all more streamlined and 'click n go'.

Gone are the days where I'd be able to sit for hours on end tinkering with things like this - one hassle and I am out a phone and internet access at least until the weekend

Thanks for those links - will do it after work - (no Mac at work) on my 3G.

What do you mean by categories? You referring to folders? If so, just drag one icon onto another

 

[adsl3g]

Yup - thats what I meant - thanks

Do I need a MAC to do this update now?

..anyone done this, does the fact that it is a GM release not bugger it around?? For iPhone 3G. Wanna do it now.

The NOTE warning worries me a bit.

EDIT: Never mind, just jailbroke it

One question, i want to get apps from the us store now say i make a account for us store and sync it to my iphone what will happen to my apps i already have, and is there no downside to make a us account and to sync it to your SA iphone?

 

[adsl3g]

I got them from the itunes store south africa. And theres no downside? So i can get games from the US store and sync them to my SA iphone and everything wil work? And can i then access the US store from iphone ?

 

[Synaesthesia]

Oh yeah. Just follow the instructions to create your free US iTunes account, on the first page of this thread.

 

[ASD]

And nothing will happen if i update it to another OS?

 

[Synaesthesia]

No.
