| talked to Fido yesterday about getting the 3gs (again) and the rep admitted that they are very strict at the moment for clients that are still under contract (like me)... because they don't have enough of 3Gs for everyone... and that should change in one or two months.:rolleyes: |

Ultrasn0w, Redsn0w, and Winterboard Get iPhone 3GS Compatible
Three of the most popular tools on the scene have been updated to be fully compatible with the iPhone 3GS: The Dev Teams software unlock - ultrasn0w, their jailbreak software - redsn0w (via torrent for Windows, Mac, Linux), and saurik~{!/~}s popular iPhone theming tool, Winterboard (via Cydia).
Two hours ago saurik twittered the following:
The newly released 0.9.2958 versions of MobileSubstrate and WinterBoard (upgraded to support ARM7/Thumb2) should now work on the iPhone 3GS
That was followed by a quick tweet from the Dev Team:
Released: redsn0w 0.8 (incl. 3GS, hactivate, linux) http://is.gd/1pRlV . Ultrasn0W 0.8 (incl. 3GS support) (see Cydia).
So it looks like purplera1n forced the Dev Team to respond by finally releasing their jailbreak software. Good news for all of you iPhone 3GS owners out there today, now you have two jailbreak solutions for your iPhone 3GS. Which will you choose?
For more jailbreak discussion be sure to check out TiPb~{!/~}s Jailbreak Central.

I thought I saw an app that can track it on a PC all the time.
Example: I left my phone in a cab, I could go home and check it's current where-abouts?
What is the current app called you guys are speaking about that is on a non-jailbroken phone?
Thanks guys. |
Well Apple officially announced this, however you have to have a Mobile Me account. IT can locate the location of your phone at any time.
Don't know how much Mobile Me is a year, but from what I remember, its quite pricy.
