No idea, but I'm guessing in the next couple of weeks. It will be avery minor update to fix 3.0 launch screwups. Unfortunately, the people who come up with the jailbreak software are waiting... also the fact the 3Gs is not available in india is another reason they are holding it up. The hackers are in India. IMHO, They are being selfish jerks... but what can you do?

Wow people backing me up on jailbreaking, I thought I was a lost cause.
I'm gonna have to upgrade to 3.0 at some point soon, just the hassle of rejailbreaking I'm not lookin forward too

My point in posting what I said about jailbreaking is that there are many, many new iPhone users here on the DIS. I'd hate to see them think that jailbreaking is something relatively simple/safe for those who are new to how the phone works. If something goes wrong during the process because they were led to believe it is such an easy thing to do, they are out of luck. They may not know how to restore original settings, etc. They also may not know the ins and outs of completing the process.

All in all, I am still not for it and won't be touching my phone. Sure, it'd be cool to have a different homescreen, but I'm not going to risk messing up a $200 phone for that. Those who are comfortable doing so and have had no problems --- enjoy. It's just not for me.

luke have you seen the reports of peoples iphones getting hot? some say it was after the 3.0 update and some of the new 3gs are getting hot. apple is just not dressing the hot iphones. blaming the people who have them. saying they should do this and not that. there not taking the blame for it. maybe in the next couple of months they will lol

LOL yeah, tho to be fair my iPhone has been warm since I got it and I chalk it down to the fact I'm always using it!

And nikki, I fully understand where you're coming from, I had my iPhone for 6 months before jailbreaking it for the reasons you say

In case you haven't seen it yet, purplera1n.com, is now allowing people to jailbreak their brand new iphone 3gs. I still haven't decided if i'm going to do it.

To go along with everyone else - if you do this, understand that you can temporarily break your phone, and if you don't know how to do a restore, you might not want to do it. Also, Apple will find a way to break the jailbreaks, they always do.

it's the old cat trying to catch the mouse, but the mouse keeps getting away....

btw, the 19 year old that created purplera1n, is the same guy that was the 1st one to break the originial Iphone. He then traded it in for a nisszan 350z. Or so the urban legend goes.

My wife is looking for a good To Do List that could sync with her desktop or Yahoo Calendar.

I am looking for a app that can send faxes and maybe even receive them.

Thanks

As I've heard, Apple don't actually mind people who Jailbreak them, they just bother to write it into their updates. I mean, I have an Iphone which is Jailbroken so I can use it on another Network, if I was at the end of my contract with my current service provider, I probably would have got one on a contract with O2, the only service provider they work with. But even though this, I've got the phone and I'm paying for things through apple that if I wasn't able to jailbreak it, wouldn't have been bought!

If it sells more of the phone, I doubt they'll complain!

Anyone playing Vampire Wars on their iPhone? Wanna join my clan?

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Jenn, I have been tempted to play, but all of those FB games are so lame (not too mention dirty...I keep getting into food fights! ). Is it any good?

 

[DVCsince02]

I do play the FB version so I decided to try the iPhone version. It's just a scaled down version of the FB game. It's a free app and it game me points on the FB version for trying it. So far I like it. I just play while waiting in lines, etc.

Question for this great group of experts -

We are switching to Iphones at work, we have someone who needs hearing aids and he is having trouble hearing with his Iphone. Are there some additional accessibility features to improve volume that are compatible with digital hearing aids?

 

[ADP]

I finally got the Sirius XM app to work on my IPhone today. I was on the phone with Sirius/XM tech support for some time. I couldn't login to my premium Internet subscription from my IPhone. Finally got it fixed.

It works very well. Not all the channels are present. There are 120 channels, and many of the sports channels are missing; specifically, the play-by-play channels.

The sound quality is a little better than I expected. I haven't listened to any of the channels outside the 3G network so I can't comment on that yet.

I Google a little bit this morning. Compatibility with hearing aids seems to be a sore spot. Hear are a couple links you can check out.

http://www.apple.com/accessibility/resources/iphone.html The TecEar Music Link T-coil inductive ear loop might be an option.

This is the information we were able to find as well. We could not figure out if the TecEar was compatiable with his hearing aids. Thanks for the assistance.

There is a TTY adapter and once you have that there is a setting in the general preferences you can turn on, I think thats what you need but i'm not sure

I'm aware of the various tricks and techniques mentioned earlier in this thred, but on the most recent Podcast, Pete mentioned there was an actual iPhone App for DIS Radio. Anyone know anything about this?

I've not seen and iPhone App for DIS Radio...but I'd be very, very interested in one if there was one.

I have FStream but that only works for me when I'm connected to wifi which rules out listening to it most of the time that I actually want to!
