It's been a few months now since pwnage tools unlocking and jailbreaking the iPhone 2.2 firmware were released. As my father always says, Unless you know what you're doing never try the first iteration of anything new. In that spirit we've waited for the dust to settle before writing up this little guide for normal iPhone owners to use. But why jailbreak and unlock your iPhone in the first place?

Even those of you who don't should be able to recognize the safety and convenience of using some sort of hands-free setup while driving. Essentially, we have three choices: Earbuds, Bluetooth Headset, or Bluetooth Speakerphone (http://store.iphoniacs.com/iphone-speakerphones.htm). This final category is where BlueAnt's Supertooth (http://store.iphoniacs.com/blueant-supertooth-3-bluetooth-speakerphone/9A48A3790.htm)3 comes in. This convenient and extremely useable device hits the mark, and fills a very important niche in the hands-free market.

That said the first claim (http://www.npd.com/press/releases/press_080908.html) is somewhat skewed because, although it's a consumer centric smartphone sales report, it does not include or comment on corporate sales. ...

Apple has put the proxy tethering application NetShare, by Nullriver, back up into the AppStore. It was pulled shortly after its release yesterday for reasons unknown. The application is available for $9.99 via direct link (http://phobos.apple.com/webobjects/mzstore.woa/wa/viewsoftware/id/286541579/mt/8 t=1217615916/) only at this time. I'll be trying it out later this afternoon, and will posts the deets. Update: Looks like its been pulled again. Still working on getting it configured (I'm working with Vista). If you have a Mac and were able to grab it, here's (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/08/01/ten_step_guide_to_sharing_your_iphones_connection_with_netshare.html) an easy 10-Step guide to get it running.
