Jailbreaking the iPhone 3G with v3 software

The v3 software update is free for the iPhone 3G, and brings significant new features - so it's a good idea to update to v3 software using iTunes. This will UNjailbreak your iPhone, meaning cycorder, QIK, netatalk etc will be removed. However you can re-jailbreak your iPhone after upgrading to v3 software simply using 'Redsn0w' from http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ , then reinstall cycorder, QIK, netatalk etc... using Cydia.

A tutorial on how to do this using either a Mac or PC is here: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/how_to_jailbreak_your_iphone_to_os_30.php

Some of the new v3 software features are:

• Landscape Keyboard - available in most applications now
• MMS
• New Search feature, with shortcut access
• Built-in Voice recording app, with email upload function
• Better YouTube app - with your YouTube account login option
• Use as modem for laptop via Bluetooth
• Stereo bluetooth for stereo Bluetooth audio accessories
• Direct buy and download of movies etc from iTunes Store to iPhone
• Cut, Copy, Paste text between apps
• Automatic WiFi login - great for using the Unitec 'HOTSPOT' - no more painful repetitive login process!
