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!
