iPhone iPod Plus

It is a new implemented by Apple in firmware 3.0: the ability to use the iPhone as a modem, which will connect to a computer and then use the Edge or 3G connection to surf the Internet as if it was connected to a LAN. Scott Forstall discussed at the conference on March 17, this feature is already present in the beta version of firmware 3.0, have seen some developers have begun to delve into the bowels of the software.

It would therefore need to jailbreak his iPhone and use applications like NetShare or iPhoneModem. Only problem: officially, the activation of this feature is at the discretion of operators who distribute the iPhone. In other words, if Orange decides that such use is forbidden – and for now this is the case, we can not formally benefit. However, if the modem is integrated into the firmware of the iPhone, it will not be difficult to activate, but for that it must have made the jailbreak of the iPhone …

Anyway, this is a feature that could allow an SFR or Bouygues really stand out from the supply of Orange, since the level of tariffs three operators follow the same direction .
