I’ve been waiting patiently for an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S before I upgrade. As much as I want to chat with Siri, make use of iCloud, and shoot pics with that fancy 8MP camera, I can’t stand the thought of losing my jailbreak.

My wife has recently been hinting that she’d like an iPhone to replace her current dumbphone. Given that she’s eligible for an upgrade and Christmas is coming up, I figured the timing was perfect. But how to buy it without her knowing?
Having owned an iPad since the day they released the new version back in March, I’ve now had some time to think about my decision and even to cook up a bit of buyer’s remorse. It’s not that I don’t like it, because I do. It’s just that I’m starting to wish I had bought a different version.
Either I’m cursed, or Apple quality control has gone way downhill. Last week I got a replacement for my iPhone with a dark spot on the screen. Sadly, the new one had a defective touchscreen that caused problems when typing. And now this…
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard of the reception problems that the iPhone 4 has when you hold it the “wrong” way. Today I was at the local AT&T store shopping for an iPhone upgrade, so I had an opportunity to test it out myself.
As I noted previously, my wife’s Pantech Matrix cell phone has taken a beating. It’s been dunked in water. Twice. And while we were able to dry out her phone without any problems the first time, it didn’t survive the second dunking.
Do you have an iPhone and an iPad? Do you wish you could share your iPhone data connection with your iPad for a little surfing sans wifi? Sure, you could buy a 3G iPad and pay a ton for the service, or… You could jailbreak your iPhone.
After resisting the temptation for close to a year, I’ve finally decided to jailbreak my iPhone. My main motivation for doing this is to be able to tether my MacBook Pro to my 3G connection. I’d also like to be able to give me kids mobile internet access for their iPods and/or netbooks when we’re traveling.
